soul sisters

I've been hanging out a bunch with the sisters of charity here doing some painting and helping out with the kids,
they are the coolest people in the world.
I've never met people before who's sole purpose on earth is love others,
they look after abandoned and handicapped kids,
many of whom aren't used to being touched or talked to.
pretty humbling stuff.

I'm perservering with my Arabic, but it's a bit of a painful process.
teaching is going well, i could get used to the power.

Witnessed my first Islamic Jihad funeral yesterday,
took place in the mosque just outside my house, twas mental.
A big crowd with flags carrying the corpse, chanting anti-israeli slogans and shooting machine guns in the air.
