As many of you know, I have been back in the states for roughly 2 weeks after being displaced from Kenya due to the violence following the December 07 election. I have been patiently waiting and deciding what to do…even after having been given the green light to return. I received news today that the program in Kenya has been suspended for at least 4 weeks with a further review pending. I’m sure this is the right move on the program’s part and has now left me in a quandary. Perhaps you will find the next time you read my blog that I will be off to another country. You may find that I have returned to work. I’m not sure right now. I’ll keep you posted and sorry for leaving you hanging for those who are reading.
Quick Cairo Impression
I can tell you one thing about Cairo. It’s huge. 25 million people huge. Crazy crazy driving huge. Lots of koshery (yummy food) huge. Longest river in the world (Nile) huge. I recommend a trip not for the pyramids, the mummies, the sphinx…but just for the culture and life of the city.
JB in Egypt
I am now officially added to the number of 250,000 displaced individuals as a result of the Kenyan elections of 2007. My vacation has been extended in Egypt due my inability to return to Kenya per instruction. We’ll see what happens. I hope to share my tales from the past 4 weeks soon, but you’ve waited this long so perhaps you can wait just a little bit longer.
