Dinner with Dr. Amal
September 28th, 2007 by lmenger
Mrs. Tolisano and I had the most wonderful evening on Thursday.
We had dinner at the home of Dr. Amal. Dr. Amal is the aunt of one of our own San Jose Episcopal students, Summer. Dr. Amal was wonderful. She fed us a delicious, typical Egyptian meal and we were able to learn of the important work she does as a physician in Cairo. She is a professor of medicine at Cairo University and a specialist dealing with health problems that are caused by pollutants found in the earth, air, and water.
She often attends international conferences, from China to Germany and even in the United States. She is constantly trying to help the people of Egypt and is working on bringing new medicines and treatments to Cairo. Dr. Amal shares what she has learned with other doctors around the world. She has been to Jacksonville to visit Summer and her family.
Of course, Mrs.Tolisano started talking to Dr. Amal about how she could use technology to work with other doctors around the world. Mrs. Tolisano told Dr. Amal how to set up her own blog. Mrs. Tolisano will soon have everyone blogging. Talk about making global connections. Dr. Amal is an amazing woman and has done great things for healthcare in Egypt and we are sure will continue to do so.
Take a peek at Dr. Amal’s wonderful home.

What was the name of the food that you ate? What meat was inside the rolls? It all looks very yummy. Dr. Amal’s home is beautiful.
What is the food in the picture?
Dr. Amal’s home looks very nice.
Wow! We think her house is beautiful and amazing. We are wondering what you are eating in those pictures? Did you like it? What was your favorite thing? We can’t wait to hear!
We loved the food that Dr. Amal served us. It was delicious. She offered to write down the names, but then forgot, since we had such interesting conversation. I am sure that we can ask Summer or her dad when we are back in Jacksonville what the food is called.
The children were wondering what you all were eating. I told them most of it and they all agreed that they did not want to eat it. What a beautiful home!!!!
