Let’s inspire not impress each other

November 30. Caritas Egypt.
In the morning, after a good Egyptian breakfast, we visit Caritas Egypt as planned, and I ask a few questions about a center they are running in a more modest neighbourhood of the city. It sounds like they are doing real good work there so I decide to focus more on it and shortly after, ...
November 28. Reaching anybody?
