Jake Monaco, University of Vermont
IES Abroad Rabat
Homework Time - "During my mid-semester break I arranged to live in the small Saharan village of Khamlia. We had visited the village's Education Association on an IES Abroad field trip earlier in the semester, and I loved it so much I arranged to go back for 2 weeks in December. There I worked on the family farm in the mornings, and helped out with the local youth association in the afternoons. Here I am helping a host cousin of mine, Usama, with his French homework one evening."
