Last
Tuesday I went to my session 4:35. J
This was my 1st cheer up as I lost half of the last two sessions.
When
I was upset in one of our sessions, Dr. Joy asked me a set of questions I have
to ask myself. “What are you gaining by being in this course? What are your two
children gaining? What are your students gaining? What are your colleagues in
class gaining? What are you work colleagues gaining? What is your school
gaining? What is the Egyptian education system gaining? What is the world
gaining?” I tried to find out the answer for these questions for a long
time but I failed till last session and that is 2nd resign for my cheer up J
Last
session for more than one hour we were discuses how we can serve our community.
Then while I was returning back to home I heard in the radio a whole program
about the resigns for most of the problems that we have in Egypt like traffic
jam , steeling , harassment …..etc. They relate all the problems that happen to
the lake of ethics especially for youth.
Most
of us thoughts of how to serve the community is to give out money, food, closes
, pay for something to buy or to make …..etc. All are money takes. That led the
poor people to feel with this gap. As will we insure it to ourselves. There is
a different between the poor and even the middle class. We never see a guy
insult or bather any one of his neighbors or from his carrier. We never hear about
harassment in poor areas or from middle class youth. That because they know
that is wrong and they can’t accept for their family or class. Put they hate
the other class and that appear in their way of dealing.
Yes,
I can’t accept my son go there especially when he is 8 or 10 years old. Put I
can take the other guy to spend a day in different community.
On
Friday there was a robot event in Mall of Arabia. It was for free. I thought if
I took the son of the door man with me alone for a place he will never thing to
go to what will happen? What will happen when he starts to try to make his own
robot and see other education he never hears about? Then I developed the idea.
What will happen if each building was responsible for their door man family? If
they went to a similar event they took them. In the Eid they collect from each
other and one of the resident and his wife take the doorman family to buy the
eid clothes (not just give them money or even new clothes). When other family
goes outside in a park they took them there and left they do whatever they want.
They can collect the money to let the doorman children go to an experimental school
in state of the public school. I think that will make them feel as if we are
the same. We have to let them live the life we live not once but as much as we
can. And when I send my son to them they will deal with him in a way I will
never be afraid of.
I
know that our government is responsible for this gap but we can do a lot.
very good idea Hoda but not easily implemented you are expecting a good impact on the poor people when you engage them with your family in one of your outings but what if it reflected negatively on them it made them envy you and your kids or they return with a refuse to their families life, helping those kids needs a lot of understanding to their characters and what they are prepared to.
ReplyDeletewe would like to help the community around us and to show support so as to increase our self esteem and self worthiness without harming anybody
I think I explained to you my idea in details in the second session.
DeleteGreat topic my dear colleague, I totally agree with you. Each one of us has to share in the welfare and prosperity of their community. If we become afraid of envy and being badly affected by others, I think we won't move forward. What we really need is to plan our future steps and anticipate the results and then try to avoid the undesirable impact on both sides. we have to move to the problem that are threatening us and our kids and don't wait for them to face us. We have to teach those poor and make them feel that they can make a change and that would be more likely with their community members' help.
