The school itself had dirt floors (no smart boards here) and simple desks and chairs. We stacked desks and placed rugs on the floor so that the students (ranging in age from 4-7) could work with us and the instruments. Mary played her first Berber version of “Old McDonald” as well as a fun and lively version of La Cucaracha (strange that the ubiquitous cockroach name does not exist in the Berber language). Our lively hosts Hakim and Joy joined in the fun! Hakim translated for the children and all had a terrific time making music and dancing together! After our school session we dined with the Village Chief’s son (also a good friend to Hakim- who is well connected Moroccan style). Of course we dined upon- you guessed it TAGINE!
