Michael Kim Riegelman is elected as Moroccan of the Month for his outstanding services for the Moroccan community. Wafin would like to thank people who show respect and affection for Moroccan people and Moroccan culture, and build paths and bridges to communicate their knowledge to others.
As the Modir of the NYC Arabic Language & Culture Club, Michael Kim Riegelman has been fulfilling the third goal of the Peace Corps mission ever since returning home to NYC from Morocco in April, 2003. Helping promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of all Americans at a time when so many Americans have misconceptions and negative stereotypes of Muslims and Arabs, this third goal has never been more important. |
