 Good morning, I'm Lorena Rakati, I'm from Italy, I lived in a town next to Milan where I met the maggot and after two years of marriage we decided to come back to Egypt. I really love Egypt and in 1994 he bought this land in Nuba and we felt in love very fast. What was it when you arrived here in Nuba and how did you get there? When we arrived in Habiba it was almost an empty land and we slept on the beach, me and my kids and we came for one day actually to visit the place and we stayed for three weeks. Me and my kids, my sister and her kids and I met Omo Talal and the other woman and since then we became very close friends. She had kids at the age of my kids so they play all the day together. We make tea under the palms and somehow we communicate. At this time I don't really understand the language of the Bedouin because it's very close than the Egyptian dialect but there was something that made us friends until today. We have a very long friendship and most than friendship I think that is the sisterhood. So how did you see the importance of access? The woman here they didn't work, they work mostly at home, they take care of the house, they take care of the kids, of the goats, they are going to make the wood to make the fire to prepare the bread for cooking. They have a lot of responsibility more than the men. They also have gardens where they grow their own vegetables and they know many skills about how to take care of the goats, how to, when they have some disease, when they have to have birds and they have a lot of knowledge about the ground also, about how to cultivate. So Lorena, how do you see the development of female empowerment? We did with the Learning Centre courses for the woman, we made a course for a swing. It was a month of three days per week with the lady that teach them. We had another course with a lady that teach them the embroidery with the treats and I wish that soon we can do more in this, more of these swing courses because I would like that we start to produce our new trend of dress the sweet with the cyanide and the desert. Also we create a group of women that they are not going to sell their stuff on the beach, they say mainly at home with the kids, so they make beads, accessories and we do very beautiful stuff and different from what they do till now in the area so we have more products. These bring them in income and because also during the corona time or all the years that we don't have any work here in cyanide they can help to sustain the house. There is another initiative named Diamond of Cyanide. This let teach the woman how to make cosmetics and salt with natural product and essential oil. These to sustain the community and they can exchange by themselves also. Another project that is very important is the Learning Center for the kids of the village. It's for local kids that they are coming almost every day after the school and in this center we are trying to teach in an alternative way. We don't teach just the language or knowledge but what we would like to teach mostly are the values and the word that we always say is respect and a lot of arts. All the kind of arts that they don't never experiment. We do a lot of arts to let them express themselves through song, drawing, cutting, paper mache, drawing, coloring all the things that they don't have in the school and don't have at home. Also sometimes we make also theater or we make stories. My final wish that the woman will have their own income and they will start to do more gardens and teach their kids to have them also and to share the knowledge. And I wish that all the projects that we are doing will succeed and to make them even work from their houses but not just for the projects but also for the other members of the community.
