In about a week, we’ll be completing our 10-week training and will all be travelling to our sites to begin our two-year peace proliferation. I’m excited about beginning all over, and the first few months will be indicative of what I can get done. I’ve already been able to ascertain from having worked on a smaller scale with the artisans, that things are going to be very very very slow. And if I’m going to be able to work efficiently in this culture, I’m going to have to learn how to handle and mature my frustrations quite quickly.
In no way do I intend to suggest that the Moroccan culture is better or worse than any other culture; merely that importance is placed on different things. It’s the ability to pinpoint those things in my culture that are different from those in the new culture and figure out how to still function at a maximum capacity that will allow me to assimilite more effiecently and effectively into the new culture. Does anyone have a gong?
