Heading Back To Egypt.......Medical Mission #2

It is official. I am hoping to return to Egypt on my second medical mission in that area. Last year was such a great experience, I learned a lot about the needs of the women (we had a few men in our classes too) in their communities. I feel that I can bring more knowledge and help through education. We worked hard and still had fun with these sweet women, who are trying to better their communities and lifestyles for their families and the people of Egypt. There were long days, but the smiles and gratitude from these people made it feel so right to do this type of work. This investment in the people of this area is required to equip them with the skills necessary for the future success of the region. We will be working with CEOSS, a group in Egypt who's mission is to promote the sanctity, equity, and harmony of life. It seeks to contribute to the transformation of society by nurturing moral and spiritual awareness, enhancing a sense of belonging, promoting respect for diversity, addressing conflict, and advancing social justice for individuals and communities.

The mission of CEOSS is implemented according to the following major goals:
To improve the quality of life in impoverished communities
To empower communities and individuals with sustainable development
To promote a culture of dialogue based on pluralistic democratic approaches and respect for human rights
To promote religious and social enlightenment

Through HANDS, an organization that is committed to building bridges between the people of Egypt and the US. their programs of exchange and dialogue have helped create an environment in which democratic ideals can flourish and those susceptible to radical ideologies find peaceful and productive means of pursuing their life goals.
I truely beleive that this calling is something I have to do and I am grateful for the oportunity in my life right now to be able to do so. So thank you for your prayers and help to achieve this goal of returning to the communities in Egypt to further develop a relationship with the people of Egypt.
