Just curious.. What destination has been your absolute favorite so far. I'm keeping my options open and would love to hear about your experience.

At 7:56pm on November 15, 2009, Scott Wilkinson said…: I absolutely loved it! I would definitely recommend going. I'm actually hoping to go back to the same area next summer with some friends I volunteered with. But I'm not sure what's on my list after that. I want to go everywhere! How did you find your other CCS programs?

At 10:21am on November 15, 2009, Meredith said…: I got back right after Valentine's Day, yeah. Isn't Morocco amazing? I was just looking at your profile, and I'll have to check out your blog at some point...and it's awesome that you went to Peru, too! I went to Lima a few years back. I adore CCS and wish I had the money to go every year. Next for you is Costa Rica, ey?

I saw a famliiar face pass by in the photos above . . . my family and I visited CCS' home base in Rabat last year and I met Mohamed and Hadijah and Abdullah . . . here is a link to pics of our visit if you want to scan for familiar faces:

I've been waiting a long time to do a CCS trip, and hearing someone else's enthusiasm is always wonderful! :)

Great to hear from you! I also really appreciate the nice cards you sent me. I have them on my bulletin board at work so I can see them often.

I love that you are so passionate about CCS, and you are getting to be quite the famous one at our office! Emma told us at a staff meeting how you helped her out and how great it was to meet you. Andrea told me what a wonderful time you had in Ayacucho, too!

I'm so glad you're continuing your volunteer work and cultural exchange in Puriscal. You'll love it. I've heard it's beautiful there, and you'll love Viria and our team there.

Have a great day!

Cheers,
Sharon

At 1:39pm on May 1, 2009, Samantha Sahl said…: Hey Grace! I just wanted to let you know - I got my placement today, I'LL BE IN THE ORPHANAGE!!!! yayy!!! I'm so so sooo excited

At 1:02am on April 21, 2009, Samantha Sahl said…: hey Grace!! So I read your blog posts from Morocco and they made me cry : )
I can't wait, I'm going to be there for 3 weeks so I can imagine it will be very difficult to leave! Thanks for the advice!

At 7:56pm on April 20, 2009, Samantha Sahl said…: WOW!! You must have had a really great experience. Thanks for the tips! I can't wait to find out my placement!! Did you do a lot of traveling around the country during your free time? and if so... are there any places that you recommend I try to visit? Thanks!

At 12:31am on April 20, 2009, Samantha Sahl said…: Thanks for the comment! I'm so excited to go, I would love to be placed in the orphanage. Unfortunately, I don't know any French or Arabic - will that be a problem at the orphanage, or did you find that a lot of people spoke English?
