General
- Mauritaniahas a reputation for being a difficult country due to the fact that it is so very different from our own, both culturally and environmentally.
- As a nation that is 100% Muslim, guests are expected to respect certain cultural norms (exchanges between men and women, observing a more conservative dress code, etc.)
- This is sometimes a hardship for our Volunteers, who live with host families and work closely with Mauritanians on a daily basis, but most learn to embrace the opportunity after the initial shock.
- Google Earth file showing where our GMCs are located in Mauritania. You need to have Google Earth downloaded in order to view the file. There is also a brief country profile pdf. I'm trying to find a way to send a powerpoint file, but it exceeds the gmail 25MB requirement.
