Fresh new faces have finally arrived at Dar Moustaqbel. Ambitious girls full of hope and enthusiasm, from a variety of rural areas in the south of Morocco. Many of them from isolated villages that have not yet seen girls pursue further education.

We welcome our students with open arms, an introduction week, and a full blown activities program. Of course we start with a welcome package with the necessary linen and a laptop computer. And soon after that it is time to sit down to discuss our house rules.

Ever since the Moroccan government decided to delay the start of the academic year in early September, we have been waiting for this moment to arrive. We are eager to get to know our new residents – each and every one of them.
