KIDS, CAMELS, & CAIRO
Traveling across the globe to work
in an international school in Cairo, Egypt, was not exactly the glamorous
lifestyle I thought it would be. I cherished my travels to the Red Sea, delighted
in visiting the Pyramids, and appreciated the natural wonders of the Nile
River. However, I also spent days without electricity or internet, was leered
at by rude Egyptian men, breathed in Cairo’s cancerous black smog, and coaxed
school work from rich, apathetic students. Why the heck did I do it? So I could
experience the unexpected, explore the extraordinary, and bask in the thrill of
adventure! Whether you’re a traveler or not, you will be astounded at this
honest and riveting account of learning to live in an Islamic society, while
confronting the daily challenges of being an educator in a Muslim school.
