As many of you know, I am really involved in several activities in Egypt because of my love for this country and its people. One of my projects is an English and German Language Center called Rise Up with my two partners Ahmed Muhamed and Ehab Mohamed. These two young men were my former students when I taught in Cairo in 2011 and 2012. We became close friends. When I returned home, we decided to open a…..
On Tuesday, October 8, 2013, I discussed the Jesus Moringa Farm (Egypt) and the World Peace Forest (Africa) project. Today I will share a poem I created many months ago that will describe in great detail the benefits of this incredible plant. Hopefully after you read it, you will have a much better understanding why the moringa tree is called the “Miracle Tree” by scientists and many others.
Today’s blog was inspired this week because of my genuine love and respect for Egypt and the citizens there. I decided to share a poem I wrote just a few days ago. I hope you will enjoy it and the attached photos. I hope after you read it, you will want to visit my second home one day. Egypt is truly a magical land not just because of its amazing past civilizations but because of the modern…..
Couchsurfing Egypt is a non-profit organization that considers itself to be the Gateway to Egyptian Society. It offers tours, events, and a real opportunity to meet and make new friends from all around the world who come to Egypt for study, for tourism, and for work. Some of these new friendships could become lifelong relationships because of the close bonds formed within this group. Couchsurfing Egypt provides a true experience in Egyptian hospitality also through its many…..
This has been an extremely busy week so instead of a blog today, I wish to post a poem instead and the link to a Youtube video I made a few months ago to honor the wonderful and hard working people of Egypt—many of whom are dear and close friends of mine. Click on the title to see the video made using this poem and some of my pictures from Egypt plus some special Egyptian music.
This is the second blog in a series called EGYPT’S CRUSADE FOR MODERNIZATON. The modern young Egyptians are all pursuing educational skills to be prepared for the modern and global world in which we live. Today’s topic will discuss an organization located not only in Egypt but also in other parts of the Mideast. This is just one of the many wonderful groups whose aim is to improve the professional lives of the citizens in this part of the world……
This is the first blog in hopefully a long series of blogs about current Egypt called EGYPT’S CRUSADE FOR MODERNIZATION. As the world has witnessed since January 2011, Egypt has been experiencing many struggles in its efforts to become a true democratic nation and a future world power. Because of this, the media has concentrated mainly on the revolutions with its numerous protests of which some of them have become violent and have resulted in deaths and injuries of its…..
To find a true friend, you must also be a true friend. Gandhi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Thus, this could also be interpreted as “be the friend you want to have.” I have found that for the most part, I attract friends whose lives and characters reflect or “mirror” my own life. I don’t feel I have to change to be what other people want me to be. There…..
I value friendship very much. It is one of the most important aspects of my life. Therefore, I try my best to be a good friend and to respect the feelings and privacy of my friends when I feel this is what they want and need. I also try not to ask for unreasonable things or put pressure on my friends to do things for me that I know are difficult or impossible for them to do. …..
My last two blogs discussed the benefits of owning a pet and the process of selecting the best pet for your family and lifestyle. Today will simply be a poem I wrote about one of the special members in my family now. Our sweet and beautiful female Saint Bernard Anna Belle has brought unimaginable joy and entertainment into our family. My husband Bill and I spend many hours each and every day sharing our lives with her. …..
