I am really enjoying Morocco. I love art. Do you?

Morocco is a poorer country than the US. Have you seen that book that shows what people own in different parts of the world? People generally own less things here than they do in the US.

In the US, we have laws that say you have to make a minimum wage. We have a law that says children can not work.

In Morocco, however, many children work. Most people have big families. The children need to work to help make money.

In Morocco, most people get paid very little money. We were amazed to see so many talented people making so little money.

Most things are made by machines in the US. In Morocco it is different. They still make many crafts by hand.
