My Story

Hi! My name is Jessica. I live in Cairo, Egypt with my mommy and my sister. My daddy died, so it is just us now. We had to leave our home in Sudan because of the war. Life here is not easy, but we are safe.

I go to school and my favorite subject is English. Math is hard for me. I like the color pink and my favorite animal is a cat. My favorite food is pasta! I enjoy swimming when I can. At home I help my mommy by cleaning my room. My favorite hero is Krishna, an actor.

Sudan is my country. Because of the war, my family and I had to run away. Did you know Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt? Also, the Blue Nile and White Nile come together in our city, Khartoum, to make the Nile River.

In Egypt most people are Muslims. There are very few Christians, and sometimes it feels scary. But I know God loves me and He will never leave me.
