Her Highness, Princess Lalla Joumala Alaoui of Morocco visits UA

We were greatly honored today to welcome Her Highness, Princess Lalla Joumala Alaoui of Morocco, Ambassador to the United States, to Ursuline Academy.  This special guest came to Ursuline through our partnership with the World Affairs Council of Dallas / Ft. Worth. Her words to our students were inspiring and enlightening. Her Highness spoke about her country and about women in the Middle East. She encouraged us to build relationships and to learn about the culture of other countries. She congratulated our many students who are studying Arabic language and she was deeply touched by a gift of beautiful Arabic calligraphy made by our Arabic IV students. It was a marvelous experience for all who attended and we are all very eager to visit beautiful Morocco in the near future.

 

 

We were also joined by our friends from the Dallas International School and from Brighter Horizons Academy. The students from Brighter Horizons joined the students from UA's Junior World Affairs Club for lunch after the speaker. It was wonderful to make new friends!
