Day 3 (Part 1)

Santa Clause with the children in the deaf school

Egypt vs. USA... we were defeated 5 to 3

"What are ya'll doing here????" Small world. We saw the Viscomi's in the market.

We had a full day today and were blessed by the Lord over and over. Our first stop was a deaf school in Cairo. We were able to tour their facilities and spend time with some of the students during their Christmas party (Christmas is celebrated on January 7th here). It was an incredible time of communicating using only body language. There was a real sense of joy in the room. After we finished the tour, we hung around the campus long enough, that we were eventually challenged to a soccer match. Our team put up a tough fight, but were in the end, defeated by the Egyptians. Our guide for the day, Fazi, then took us to experience lunch near the Bazaar (or market) in Cairo. We not only experienced Egyptian pancakes (resembling quesadillias more than pancakes), but on a short walk after lunch, we also ran into the Viscomi family--a small world it is after all!
