Hello PSCers!
As some of you might have heard we're having major changes in my home country, Egypt. A revolution on January 25th 2011 ended only a few days ago.
Everything is BEAUTIFUL. Hard times brings the best inside each one of us.
I'm too excited so here are some pics!
All this crowd
Can easily line up to pray
in perfect sync
People were loving the Army... They got on the tanks and posed for photos!!!!
After it all ended, it was like a BIG soccer match won
Although I was not agreeing with the revolution to happen this way without planning, only guided by emotions. It resulted alot of gains for Egypt. People on both sides realise this.
Protesters cleaned the place where they camped and painted the sidewalks and washed the statues. Everybody's volunteering in different charity projects. Egyptians are really different these days, much more cheerful in the streets. I think it's hope.
Sorry for writting too much.
I'm writting to tell you that, and although I was not very active lately, but in the only day that I -personally- were in real danger, I got more than one message from PSC members and we were out of internet for almost a week in Egypt.
I now believe that this positive energy I got from you guys must've helped me get through that day. I'm writting this to thank not only all of those who messaged/thought about me or about Egypt during the hard times, but also all of you PSCers for being such an AWESOME community, from which I got some good friends who might have saved my life for real the other day.
