We plan to meet three goals here. The first is to provide a list of holidays and famous events that Morocco, Liberia, including Liberia-Morocco bilateral students celebrate. The second is to give synopses of these events and holidays. We want people to understand the significance of the holidays. The third is to post, on Lymba site, holiday pictures, holiday or personal stories, customs, traditions, videos, recipes, etc.
