Things are incredible here, we are going to Osama’s graduation (a Karama kid that scored 75% or so on his exams) party tonight (men & women go at different times).
My stomach is off, same as Africa, The group of volunteers are as really eclectic mix & a neat group, they are all incredible people with really neat stories. Fellow Canadian & I took Mohammed, Machmed & Walid to the gym here today for a work out & was it ever a nice gym!!!! We got a 2 week membership.
The two kittens Krusti & Whitey are exhausting as well but in this place where the air feels thick with oppression & there is so much hatred in this region it6 makes me so happy we are Canadian. Anyway the 2 cats are almost like a symbol of hope here that we can hand rear these two tiny little creatures & bring life in an otherwise bad situation. It couldn’t have worked out better George the 280 lb defensive lineman from Western Ontario is an amazing guy, & speaks fluent Arabic so its like having my own personal translator
Just had supper with all the volunteers, there is certainly a comradery here that is very nice. A new volunteer came today Kareem who is a Brit of Iranian descent. It is so cool to hear someone with both perspectives (Kareem & George). Kareem is Muslim & has been to some pretty wild places Peshawar, Saudi, etc. so as you can imagine he did not have a good time coming through 8 hours I think.
