some amazing women in my new home

my sister. khadijah. she's the 33 yr old preschool teacher. she's an incredible leader in the community and she's so patient with me!! she's really good at teaching arabic. :P

my mom, mbarka, and other sisters. fatim zohor on the left and mimouna.

fatim zohor is so cute! she works at the teleboutique and lets me work with her sometimes. i practice my darija with customers and tell them that i dont have change so they're just going to have to buy 100 dhs worth of cell phone minutes instead of 20. they get a good laugh. then i give them their change.

my sister in law, kaltoum. she's also wonderful, although a bit distant from the family sometimes. her husband lives and works in casa and comes back occasionally.

my mom all dressed up for a wedding. she's so cute!!
