"My visit to Tanger" Morocco by Carmela71

My friend was working for the Calcuta sisters there in a house for single mothers, that are illegal in Morocco (single mothers), so I decide to visit her and while she was working I use to take care the child there, they were so sweet, so great, you could not stop loving them!
This was one of the mothers, No, she was not hurt, she had a problem with an eye ...
I am afraid my experience in Tangier was not very tourist, it was very therapeutically for me, as I was just dismissed from a horrible job, and my friend suggest me to go there, help them for a while, and she promise me I will see life completely different after that!
Sometimes we need someone to remind us, how lucky we are to live in such wonderful conditions as we live in Europe...
maybe is not my best tourist travel but it has been the one that teach me more about this wonderful moms, broken families, new families (one of the single mothers got married while being there...). I was told while I was there that single mothers does not exist there, and their kids do not exist for their law... I am not sure if that is true still now... as Morocco is changing a lot.
The only thing I did not like was that I was suggesting not smoking in the street, as I was a woman! (I was suggested only to do it in my private accommodation!) Horrible for an addicted person LOL

Carmen, no recordaba que habias estado en Tanger. Una experiencia interesante, y, desde luego, no turistica.
Its a good thing single mothers are not forbidded in the Netherlands and i agree that you have to think and learn from other countries...
I'm not a smoker myself, but I don't believe you should've been banned from doing it in the street just because you're a woman.
I found much wisdom in your page, especially as a new year begins. You gave the voiceless and invisible a way to send a message to the world. Bravo!
It`s such a nice page, even not tuuristic, Carmen!
refreshing insight of life.
Lovely page, Carmen !
Yes! horrible for an addcited person!
Nice story!!!
Bonita experiencia!!
