Late February, I particpated in a day's event in a village close to Midelt called, 'Boumia' where another Peace Corps volunteer lives and works. It was based on women's empowerment activities and working in conjunction with the local Women's Association to open discussion on sexual harassment and problems that women face in communities and what can be done to stop it. I had the chance to introduce yoga and meditation as a guide in healing and have some fun too. In addition, I was invited by the ministry of health and sports in Midelt to participate in aerobics and stretching for the local basketball team.
