I just thought I'd share this with you...

Its a usual Friday afternoon, im sitting at home watching TV with my sisters, and then this movie trailer comes on TV, its called 'Bolteya el 3ayma', and from the trailer i understood that it is about a woman who lives in a very poor area, an area very similar to Ain el Seera, but in Alexandria. And there was this line that the main character(Abla Kamel) says, and it goes something like that "isnt that what we have elected you for? The electricity that we only have every 15 min and the water and the sewage problems?" And that kind of struck me right there, cuz usually i would listen to something like that and it would just pass, i wouldnt have given it much thought at all, not because i didnt care but cuz i didnt really understand or know, problems that many people with certain circumstances have to live with every single day. And that when i started talking to my sisters and explaining those problems to them. So, Dr. Mona, THANK YOU for this class, really!
