Abu El Nomros

We spent the morning in the much less affluent farming district of Abu Nombros. First at a primary school where I was such a foreigner it caused quite a lot of excitement and commotion! So much so I didn't dare take my camera out to capture the absolute delight on the young kids' faces. The children are so much more interested and engaged than the private school students who also attend field trips at the centre. It was an privilege to experience their enthusiasm.

We also stopped by the new WESC enviro edu centre going up nearby the school which will open early next year to provide more learning opportunities for the students from the public schools.


The fertile soils produce a range of agricultural products which are sold on the side of the street or off the back of donkey carts in the city.




Perfectly packed tomatoes and potatoes, with cauliflowers on the cart in front. All carts come fitted with an old fashioned scale on the back as well.
