Peace Corps Morocco, two month update: Public bath, language, host family

Hey everyone, sorry I've been slacking on uploading but training has truly taken all my time. I hope you enjoy this video in which I share a lot of my experiences!
As always if you like the music, check out my guy Mt. Vernon: itunes.apple.com/us/artist/mt...

I was planning on starting a KZbin channel when I started peace corps in Morocco. But it was difficult because many people are very camera shy and I didn't want to draw even more attention to myself in the streets! You're the first person I've found on KZbin that has done peace corps videos in Morocco and I've been here 4 years! So sorry that you couldn't continue your journey : (

Hey! I loved watching your video! I am hoping to do the peace corps one day in hopefully Morocco. I also have been studying shami dialect of Arabic and was wondering, did it help you a lot while there or was it really that different to Moroccan dialect?Did you feel that you were fluent or close to fluent in Arabic by the time you left?

[@MckaylaRaines]

Dani De Leo very nice to meet you and I’m glad you enjoyed this video !! Shami was extremely helpful because as you probably know Arabic has roots, so once you get the hang of these small changes you’ll be speaking amazingly by the end of training ! I was so comfortable when I got to final site and by the time I left I felt amazing, but I wouldn’t say fluent.

Hey, I know that this is an older video. But, what camera did you use while you were in Morocco?

[@MckaylaRaines]

I honestly don’t remember ! But to be honest my phone camera was much better anyways that’s what I use now!

[@jenniferfrancinecoto7380]

How was your experience in Rabat?

[@MckaylaRaines]

Jennifer Ferrufino Coto Rabat was amazing ! I spent the day walking around with someone from my host family. We spent time by the beach and old city. The city is sooo charming

[@oliveoil6195]

How was your internet situation here? Did you bring a laptop?

[@MckaylaRaines]

I did bring a lap top but WiFi is rare and spotty but my second host family had WiFi that was really good but my brother was a gamer 😬

[@1348polar]

Do locals think you are Moroccan?

[@MckaylaRaines]

Mary Williams all the time 😂 they get so confused when I don’t speak Darija perfectly

Hi McKayla, I heard that they’re sending volunteers back to the states/: which really sucks, how are you doing transitioning Back??

[@MckaylaRaines]

jose loves skating, yes unfortunately, we were evacuated about 6 weeks ago now. It’s been devastating but there are talks of return but I think what is best is for me to look forward. I hope you’re doing well in these uncertain times.

[@zavalazavala6562]

Mckayla Raines Mckayla Raines that’s really unfortunate to hear, but I’m glad you’re having a good outlook on it. The good thing is even if it takes a while for the program to re open there are no limits to the amount of times one can volunteer, right? And I’ve been doing good in these times. Taking advantage of getting as much volunteer work done as possible! As I’m am to applying to be PVC.

[@mattmorton506]

Hey, I've been planning on Peace Corps for some time now. I've got two years of college left, what qualifications did you have going into Peace Corps? I'm going to be getting TEFL certified and considering AmeriCorps before I join. Thanks for any input and hope your service is going well!

[@MckaylaRaines]

The qualifications very from country to country, but most importantly, you need a bachelors degree, having TEFL makes you extra qualified! As far as what they're looking for, they want someone who has a lot of experience volunteering and working on projects that relate to their field. Considering you have TEFL, I'm assuming you want to do education or Youth in Development, in which they want to see your experience with youth! Let me know if that helped or if you have any other questions ! :)

[@mattmorton506]

@@MckaylaRaines Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, that helped loads, much appreciated. I'll be following your channel, eager to see what your service brings you and best wishes that you have a great time!

[@justlivinginthematrix6260]

Hey! Why is peace Corp needed in morroco ?

[@MckaylaRaines]

The only sector of the Peace Corps present in Morocco is the Youth Development sector. My tasks ranged from teaching English to clubs and camp activities!

[@ari-jv]

Can you do it if your parents are from morocco

[@MckaylaRaines]

You just have to be an American citizen!
