Discovering Refugee
Ministry in Morocco
September 30 - October 8, 2011
WHAT WE WILL DO:
Do you hear about the struggles of refugees in
Africa, particularly in Morocco, but don’t know
how you can help? Kentucky Baptist Fellowship
and the EEAM (Eglise Evangelique au Maroc)
will offer an opportunity for a limited number
of Kentuckians to learn more about the plight
of Sub-Saharan refugees in Morocco. This fall,
Karen Thomas Smith and Josh Speight will travel
to sites in Morocco where the EEAM partners
with CEI (International Aid Committee) to meet
the needs of migrants and refugees from Sub-Sa-
haran Africa living in Morocco. Our time will be
spent researching the current work in the country
as well as doing some hands-on projects with CEI.
Tentative site visits include Casablanca, Fez, Ou-
jda, Rabat, and Marrakech. Only 10-12 spots will
be available, so apply early!
WHO SHOULD GO:
Adults 18 and older who have a concern and a
heart for the lives of refugees are encouraged to
apply.
WHAT WILL IT COST:
Cost per person: $2,200 ($1,500 airfare, $250
lodging, $225 food, $225 transportation). A non-
refundable deposit of $150 is due with your ap-
plication by May 15, 2011. Final payment must be
made to KBF by August 15, 2011.
HOW DO I REGISTER OR FIND
MORE INFO:
