Excerpts from 'A journey to finding me' Eps 8

25th September Last night we left Cairo with the same click I went with to Khan Khalili for Tarabin village in Sinai. It’s very nice out here, no pollution and the Red Sea is amazing, spent the afternoon swimming and drunk so much of the salty water that has made my throat coarse. This afternoon as we sat out on the beach. Two Bedouin sisters’ ages about 12 and 9 years walked up to us, selling jewelry they make with their mother. Their job is to sell it to tourists and anyone else who wants to buy it. My heart went out to them. These girls do not attend school and have no thought of doing it, they know that their life’s work is to trade and one day be married off. They have rights, but who fights for them? Am not sure about the Egyptian policies on education but I am going to do my best to find out. I know Uganda introduced Universal primary education where everyone from the age of 5 to 12 goes to primary school for free. I hope that the Egyptian government can exercise that and that girls will have an opportunity to get some kind of education.
