The next day, we spent another day in Casablanca!
In the morning, we visited a local primary school, New World School. We were greeted
with huge warm welcome accompanying with treats filled with dates, cookies, pastries,
and Moroccan tea (a customary for welcoming guests). First, we heard opening remarks
from the school鈥檚 administrators, then, we heard from some of the students as they
highlighted places to visit, Moroccan foods to try, and popular items to buy through
student led presentations. Our very own, Dr. Bachkar, also gave an inspiring and motivational
speech to the audience.
After the morning presentations, we went on a school tour and got to see the students
learning in action. The students were very excited to have us as visitors and show
us what they鈥檙e currently learning in their classes!
Our 2nd stop of the day was Spirit AeroSystems, one of the largest manufacturers of
commercial airplane & aerospace parts and technology. Not only did we learn more about
the company鈥檚 operations producing various types of parts for planes, but we learned
about Spirit AeroSystem company鈥檚 values and their outreach efforts to the local community.
