Egypt Mission Day 3

GOOD MORNING!
Good morning Africa! Wow! It's beautiful! It's 5:45 am. But I am wide awake and ready to go! Apparently, there's isn't an abundance of toilet paper here. It was a shock :)
Insted tere's a little water spout to rinse of when you're dong doing your business..
That took some getting used to and I now have a napkin on me at all times but I am pumped and ready to start screening day 2! Back to the toilet business: do NOT shake with your LEFT HAND. My early morning important lesson.
I LOVE it here in Egypt. I truly do.

SREENING DAY 2
Today was a completely life changing and amazing day! It's so great here. First, after we went to breakfast (Egyptian food- LOVE it!) e had a quick meeting and went straight to work. I was mostly with the two Operation Smile student volunteers. They where from Malibu (Kelcie) and Maryland (Jackie). They're high school students and they are so nice! We had a great time. We walked to the hspital carrying bags of toys. and bubbles and stickers.

I am learning so much Arabic from my new friends in Egypt. There are tons of Egyptian student volunteers from high schools. I played with the kids almost all day! They LOVE bubbles! The absolutely lov ethem! I met almost four hundred kids. We passed out stickers and they're facinated with those too! The faces on the girls light up when you give them stickers and they boys are crazy for new toys.

Wow. Everything is poor. Me and Khouloud (otherwise known as Doody) came up with a game for the kids. We used blow up soccer balls. These kids are amazing at soccer. Its insane.
There wasn't actually a volleyball net it was a bunch of chairs lined up. The games were great adnt he kids loved it. We spent so long just sitting watching the kids play and joining in with them. I met so many people with clefts. So many people like me. A couple of the boys I played with were really sweet. There was a boy named Minah andhe loved the made up game. There was another boy ame Whalid (I can'ts spell any names BTW). He was very shy.

We are Egyptain sandwitches for lunch. By lunch, we were ALL exhasted! I'm falling asleep while I write. We entertained the kids and talked to the parents and encouraged them. Some of my favorite Arabic words. (Spelt the way they are spoken..)
