We gave a lot of lessons, one of them was about forgetting a lot and what causes us to forget, like not drinking enough water, not take vitamins, or taking too many antibiotics and painkillers.

It has been a very good month. In the village of Adendan, we are going to start an educational series about marriage and choosing your life partner as a sequel of what we learnt in our conference for the families in Hurgada. This time we will do these lectures for the young men and women of the village, and we hope they will apply what they will learn from this course.

Helwan Village, Egypt

Women of Helwan

This month, we had a shoe fair for women, men and children. There were many people that came, because everything outside is very expensive. A lady came to buy shoes for her children and thanked us so much because we offer them a chance to buy new things with little money. She has five children and works even though she’s old.  She has to provide for her children. I encouraged her to come to the lessons.

Mainasara and Fatima had quite a lot of work done within the last quarter. The milling machine has been of immense benefit to the locals since it was set up and the accounts put together. Mainasara and the Income Generation Committee keep ensuring that the accounting is done properly, and that every participant of this Income Generation programme is issued a membership card that records how much is paid each time they use the milling machine.

Upper Egypt Village Cluster, Egypt

Toshka is one of the largest villages of the Nubian tribe. We had a vision seminar last month and the women were so excited to start developing their village. They shared the main problems that face them in the community, issues like divorce, female genital mutilation, and unemployment. They have a desire to start women groups.

Ezbit el Amir Village, Egypt

We gave a lesson about boundaries in relationships and between each family. Berenike said that she lives in a house where all her family lives, and they used to visit each other with no boundaries. After awhile, problems appeared as they were very involved in her private life in a scary way.
