Cairo+Slum26k

** Cairo Slum ** ** The slide show of Cairo Slum was about how all the poor people who live in Cairo Slum recycle garbage for a living. If your wondering where Cairo Slum is, I'll tell you. Cairo Slum is in the Northern part of Egypt. In Cairo Slum men, women, and children work extremely hard each day recycling trash and barely get payed at all. While I was reading and looking at the pictures in the slide show, it really made me think of how blessed we are to be living in real houses and to have clean water and food. It's so sad to think that while we have everything we need, other people in the world are sorting garbage and getting about $1 a day! There are almost no other jobs in Cairo Slum, so they have schools that teach how to recycle things. The people who live in Cairo slum are called Zebaleens, which in Arabic means "Garbage collectors". Even though the people in Cairo slum have a hard job and are very poor, they're proud of the way they make their living. **
