Nile River School Update

Cairo, Egypt

We would like to thank for all the well-wishers and supporters from near and far who sent us 'bricks' to help create the Nile River School. The project is still not completed but we are making progress step by step. We especially thank Laura and Risa and students from BISC (British International School of Cairo) for their successful fundraising. We were also delighted by a visit from the Asian Diplomat Women's representatives who mingled with the children, enjoyed a tour through the village and helped us with their kind donation. The children were eager to recite their ABC and show their art folders to them. They could see the children had a strong desire to learn and display their achievements. Rose from Syria came to volunteer and helped with the Arabic skills of the children. Now two volunteers from Portugal will help us into our next step of development.

NHE was presented as a viable alternative at an educational conference that was held at the National Institute of Education in Taiwan alongside other educational NGO's and was positively received.
