So this summer I was in an impoverished village in Egypt, teaching kids there about healthy habits and things pertaining to the prevalent diseases in that area. The funny thing is that I learned WAY more from them than they learned from me.

To set the stage for this experience, let me tell you about these kids' living conditions. They are mostly middle schoolers. They are fatherless, which means no income. The father is the breadwinner in this culture, so if for whatever reason he dies, the family will, unfortunately, fall into poverty. The kids will then be forced to get out and find jobs to help out their family. As a result, most families live in tiny shared rooms or even with animals.
