For this seasons very first Gift of the Gab, I interview my friend Jessica Elgamil, who is a certified yoga teacher by trade, and she just returned from an aid mission to Egypt.
She recounts how the opportunity came about to help Palestinian refugees, who had escaped the genocide in Palestine through the Rafah border in Egypt. But escaping the war is only the first step for refugees, in the very difficult process of rebuilding their lives.
I discuss with her the experience with the aid distribution in Egypt and what else (besides monetary aid) is needed by the refugees to help them get back on their feet.
