My Story

My name is Diana, and I live in a small village in Egypt near the Nile River with my widowed mother and my brother. My mother is currently unemployed, but we do our best to take care of one another. Egypt is a beautiful country, and we enjoy many things about our culture—being with family, sharing good food, laughing, and spending time with friends.

I like going to school, and my favorite subject is Arabic, although Math can be difficult for me sometimes. My favorite color is black, and I love dogs. Beef is my favorite food. I also enjoy playing board games with my family and friends. When I grow up, I hope to become a doctor so I can help people.

At home, I help my mother by cleaning my room and sometimes cooking. Most people in Egypt are Muslims, and there are very few Christians, so it is not always easy or safe to be a Christian here. I enjoy hearing stories from the Bible, especially the story of Mary. It gives me comfort to know that God loves me and will never leave me.
