I highly recommend this volunteering experience if you're looking for a genuine cultural exchange. The local people are incredibly kind and welcoming, and they make you feel at home from the very beginning. Teaching both children and adults was one of the most rewarding parts of my stay. They are eager to learn, and being able to help while learning from them at the same time is truly fulfilling. the school is amazing and always makes sure everyone feels comfortable. Living with volunteers from different countries also makes the experience even more special.

This experience was truly incredible. Lahcen is a very attentive, friendly, and generous person. I only have good things to say about him. I was able to connect with the locals and live completely new experiences. It really is an amazing, beautiful place. The school is very lovely and the students are people full of love to give. My recommendation is: don’t miss it.
Thanks Lahcen

My experience in Assa, Morocco was one of the best of my life. It really changed me. I connected deeply with the culture, the people, and especially the children. Teaching was so fun,I always wanted more. the school, our host, is an amazing person. He is always there for you, cares a lot, and goes above and beyond. He respected our work hours and days off, and even took us on trips every Sunday. The atmosphere with the volunteers was incredible we felt like a real family and shared everything together. I will never forget this experience and I hope to come back very soon.

Volunteering with the school was a great experience! The city is very small and there's no much to do, but it's a great opportunity to connect with locals, learn arabic and immerse in their culture. Acommodation is simple but very comfortable and they offer 2 deliciosous meals a day. the school and his family are super kind and attentive, they made us feel very welcome. I recommend this experience!

Lahsen was one of the most fun and easy going hosts I've had on Worldpackers. We had some great times going out on day trips, having a picnic at the beach or going dancing and feasting in the desert. I appreciate his openness to different approaches to teaching English. Some of my teaching included teaching English thru popular song lyrics then playing the songs to my students on my ukulele. Lahsen especially liked the song, "Hotel California" by The Eagles and often requested it.
