During the revolution I was offered the position of Editor for a monthly magazine called the Maadi Messenger. I have eagerly read this magazine every month since I moved here in August so I was excited and said absolutely, yes!
After spending hours communicating with contributors, editing articles, and going over copies at the publisher's office, my first issue was printed. April, 2011 - Revolution Issue! Pictured here is the cover (I chose the cover picture, but did not take it). Now I'm working on May's Spring-themed issue!
The magazine is a ministry of our church. It's intended to do three things - let people know what's happening at various churches in our area; provide informative, fun, and appropriate articles; and raise money for various Egyptian charities. It's really fun, a lot of good new experience, and a privilege that I was asked to fill this spot!
