On Saturday July 3rd, we went Ana El-Masry at our scheduled time. When we arrived to the complex, to our surprise it was extremely quiet. The complex was lacking the incredible energy and the loud voices of the children. We looked for a staff member to figure out what was going on. We were, then, informed that the older kids from ages 9-16 had been sent to a three day camp, and that the only children in the complex were the nursery kids. The staff member led us to the TV room, where before we entered the kids were quietly and orderly playing and watching TV. As soon as they felt our presence, chaos broke loose. The kids suddenly acquired a burst of energy. They were so happy to see us. Immediately, kids wanted to play Ms. Mary Mack, Jacks or just sit on us and talk to us. The kids fought for our attention. They all wanted to sit on us, ho
ld our hands, or play with us. Some kids created trouble just to get attention. However, slowly the kids began to fall asleep. The sudden burst of energy was only temporary, and their little bodies could not fight sleep anymore. After the 3 hours that we were there, most of the kids were asleep on the floor or on couches. I took the opportunity to take these pictures, for this would probably never occur again.
