My Story

Hi! My name is Mai. I live in Cairo, Egypt with my mommy and my brother. My daddy left us, so mommy takes care of us. We had to run away from Sudan because of the war, and now we are refugees here.

I like going to school. My favorite subject is Math, but Arabic is hard for me. My favorite color is violet. I love dogs! My favorite food is pizza. I like playing basketball with my friends. At home I help my mommy by washing the dishes. My hero is Karina Kafour, an Indian actor.

Sudan is my country, but the war made us leave. Did you know Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt? The Blue Nile and White Nile rivers come together in Khartoum, our capital, to make the Nile River.

In Egypt most people are Muslims, and not many are Christians. Sometimes it is not safe to be a Christian here, but I know God loves me and He will never leave me.
