The buzz ,rattle and hum of Cairo


It's good to be back in the buzz, rattle and hum of busy Cairo.  It's a vibrant, lively city that somehow beckons you back each time you leave.  But a lot has changed in the short time that we were away; many lives lost  and families and communities changed forever by the vast human carnage and sectarian violence.  Its a lot to take in for Peter and I coming from a sleepy southwesterly  UK backwater.
So we have thrown ourselves into our routines, teaching English and other assorted jobs in various locations.  We are pleased that the deaf school library seems to have been cleaned and tidied since our break.  The new English reading books that two weeks ago we squashed into our already over flowing suitcases are now cataloged and gleaming on the library shelves.  There seems to be a general principle here; that if you take an interest in people or even in previously cared for but now neglected libraries - then there is a response.
We are pleased that since our return God continues to bring people our way.  Each is a special unique individual whom we are privileged to know.  Jane
