Help us improve our speaking or photography or farming skills

My time at the BA was wonderful, although I hadn't been informed that there are no classes in August. Since teaching wasn't possible, Harim kindly offered me the chance to help on the farm, which became the highlight of my stay. The local team at the farm is fantastic, especially Ayoub and Halid, who I grew very fond of. Ayoub, besides being an excellent Darija teacher, cooked us delicious local meals, guided us in all the farm work, and even stayed by my side when I had a small accident. Thanks to Ayoub, the workers and the other volunteers my experience was truly unforgettable 💙

We had a good experience; however, I believe the food situation needs improvement, or future volunteers should at least be informed in advance that meals are only provided two to three times a week. The students are amazing, and the school staff gave us a warm welcome. We also took a trip to the north of Morocco, which was affordable and absolutely incredible. Overall, it was a very enriching experience for us, full of learning and cultural exchange. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know Morocco.

The work was simple and involved speaking English at the school twice a day. The apartment was decent, but not much to do in Casablanca... Although lunch was listed as included, it was only provided three days a week, not even on all working days. I became ill and missed a day, the host sent me a message expressing disappointment and asked me to make up for the absence later. The way he addressed the situation was uncomfortable for me. Other volunteers also found the situation concerning. I did make up the missed day. School's organized trips, had a cost, but were worthwhile.

Me es difícil tener que decir esto, pero quisiera haberlo sabido antes de ir. El voluntariado en la escuela de idiomas es una pantalla para traer extranjeros que paguen por los tours que Harim les vende cada fin de semana. Los hace parecer como un servicio a sus voluntarios, pero con valores que le dan ganancias muy altas. El solo se comunica para ofrecer o insistir para tomar sus “viajes”. El estado del departamento es inadecuado y poco aseado, las camas no alcanzan para toda la gente que trae (dormi en el living), no da los almuerzos ni los días libres convenidos. Una gran decepción.

I really enjoyed the work itself. The hours were balanced—lighter on weekdays (1h30) and more demanding on weekends (6h/4h), but having Monday and Tuesday off was great for short trips. It was an amazing chance to connect with locals and learn about the culture. However, the accommodation did not fully match our agreement, and the mixed dorms were a concern. After a respectful talk with Harim, I decided to leave early and shared suggestions for improvement. I appreciate the experience and recommend clarifying details in advance.

I had a good time in the host, work was pretty easy and the hours were not bad. However, we were only given 2 meals a week, and some of the basic necessities, such as toilet paper or soap weren't provided, so we had to buy our own. Also, there were a lot of volunteers and only one shower and 2 toilets, so it was often really dirty. I still enjoyed my stay and working with the kids; some of the conversations were really interesting. The thing I loved the most was immersing in their culture and connecting with locals.

The staff and the other volunteers were great. The work is really easy and fun and you get to talk with local people a lot. The facilities were good but a bit small so I guees it can get very busy when there is a lot or volunteers. But the most important thing to say is that there are no 3 and a half day off, it's 2 days. Monday and tuesday. Also some days the work hours were spread along the day so yes, you work 3 hours but within 5 or 6 hours. Food also not included everyday as they say. Just few days in the week, basically when Hasaniya comes around.

I stayed in the uptown the host for one week. Harim's idea of connecting travellers and students to improve their English communication is amazing, I really enjoyed the work. Nevertheless, I didn't complete the whole volunteering since it wasn't what I was expecting. The accomodation was ok, but no washing machine and no meals offered everyday, as it was described in the app. Also there are only 2 days off, not 3 and a half. Working hours are spread all over the afternoon, with many non-working gaps in between. Overall, it wasn't a good fit for me but I'm sure it might be for someone else :)

Mr. Harim is a very helpful person. I had a problem, and he helped me a lot. The school is very nice, and the students are so kind. The teachers and everything there are perfect. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy visiting Morocco. I will definitely come back again!

My stay at the host was so cool!! The work hours were a lot less than expected, you can expect to work about 10 hours a week. Also, every weekend Harim organizes affordable trips for the volunteers, making this a great way to see a lot of Morocco in a safe, affordable, and fun way. I met so many travelers and locals and learned so much about Moroccan culture, I couldn't be happier with my experience! Harim was also very flexible when I had to leave early because of a family emergency. The house has a very chill energy and everyone was very welcoming! Thank you thank you thank you!
