Children at the Nubian Village

School

On our trip to the Nubian Village, we did not just stay in the area in which most of the tourists flocked to... three of us made it past the normal Nubian village to find an elementary school, and our guide was nice enough to explain to us that recently, Egypt adopted sweeping reforms in which public education was to be an entitlement for all children under 18. It was great to see SpongeBob Squarepants backpacks from little 6 yr olds enjoying their day at school.

We were also reminded NOT to give these children money, because that would set a bad example for their learning if they knew they could make that much money panhandling.

volopolo Sat Mar 8, 2008 12:00 UTC Lovely page and pictures. volopolo	PA2AKgirl Thu May 3, 2007 21:14 UTC I miss this part of the world. Good page & it's really too bad that other people ruined the chance for you to visit the mausoleum. I think that's the way a few Turkish sites are going to end up--there was obvious disrespect in some places.
uglyscot Wed Apr 5, 2006 08:50 UTC Excellent page of one of the most beautiful places in Egypt. Thanks for the memories.	hindu1936 Wed Feb 15, 2006 14:04 UTC Thank you for reminding us to take care of the opportunity to view things--it is a privilege, not a right. As the widow of Aga Khan showed, the privilege can be revoked.
