Blog #11 Meet Nadia El Aissaoui

The organization that hosts the students, Dar Si Hmad, sets up the students in our program with “speaking partners.” They are more than just vital translators for when we are doing surveys and research but also advise our students on Moroccan and Amazigh cultures and become close friends. Meet one of the three speaking partners, Nadia EL AISSAOUI.
