Today we continue our work in the school in Habibat. We began early in the morning: around 8:30 we arrived to the school to give lectures and distribute hygienic materials. We have 3 groups of kids in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. In the morning we also had to find time to distribute toothbrushes and toothpaste between the 2 groups of children we skipped yesterday. A lot of work ahead of us!

In the afternoon I moved out from the house of Hbib to another family living in Erfoud. Although I adore Hbib’s family and I feel there like at home, I am here also to meet other families, watch their habits and learn about their problems. So, from tonight on I’m going to stay with Amina and her family: her grandmother, mother, sister and her 2 children.
Amina is a very nice person, laughs a lot and has a very nice sense of humor. She is a preschool professor in a private school in Erfoud. The day we met Amina showed me her school and introduced me to its director – Fatima.

All the Wednesday we spent giving talks and distributing hygienic materials to the kids in Habibat. It was the last day in that school, we attended the last 3 groups and we finished already at 12:30.

Afterwards I had a bit of time to go to Hotel Xaluca to resupply the missing material to start our work tomorrow in the school of Lhayn. Also I used this short free time to visit Erfoud and to print the instructive posters that we will hang tomorrow in our schools. The posters explain how to wash hands and brush teeth properly.

In the afternoon I met with Said, a friend of mine who lives in the desert and knows a lot about the techniques of building houses using mud bricks. This technique I learned in Palestine and from that moment this topic really interests me. The meeting was very inspiring and interesting!
The day passed very quickly, and at 10 o’clock I was in Amina’s house for dinner and to enjoy some time with her family.
