James McCrary of Savannah, a Peace Corps volunteer, officially began his service on May 20 in Morocco.
McCrary has completed 11 weeks of intensive training in the Berber language dialects of Tashelhit and Tamazight, in Arabic, and in cross-cultural communications skills. He has also received technical training. For the next two years, McCrary will be working with the department of water and forests and the ministry of agriculture and rural development with the dual goal of making these areas user-friendly for eco-tourism, while increasing environmental awareness among local community members.
Peace Corps volunteers reentered Morocco earlier this year based on the successful 42-year history of the program as well as the Moroccan people and government's strong support of the Peace Corps.
