Encounter and Embrace North Africa
North Africa is filled with beauty: beautiful clothing, jewelry, art, architecture, land, and most importantly.....beautiful people. Our teachers are able to gain an appreciation of this beauty as they live life in North Africa teaching conversational English this summer.
Building relationships with students and neighbors is a key to work in North Africa. People are hospitable and welcoming and love to spend time with friends, and have meaningful conversations over a cup (or two) of tea.

Director's Notes
A note from the Regional Director: Hi! We'd love to have more people join us for our summer program in North Africa!
Be ready to love, build genuine friendships, and laugh a lot.
Living in North Africa , you will get to meet wonderful family and community oriented people. You will also have the chance to build new friendships and learn how North Africans think and live. You've got to be able to laugh at yourself and be okay with making mistakes as you learn how to get around, try to speak the language, and do your best to learn the culture.
God has been shaping our personal character in so many ways. Through it all, TeachOverseas has been a tremendous support.
