The beginning....

Dear Family, Friends and random people that happen to be reading....

Yes, I am going to Egypt.

Let go to the beginning. On Monday of this week, I got a Facebook message from Erin Potterton, a friend and neighbor that happens to be teaching abroad in Egypt. She's been there for a month or so, and is enjoying her experience (correct me if I'm wrong Erin!). Anyway, she emailed me to tell me there was an opening at her school. I sent my resume to the director, who in turn emailed me as soon as he could. After a few emails back and forth, he called and told me that if I wanted the job, I could have it. But I had to be there by this coming Wednesdays. Soooo I said ok. And quit my two jobs. And began to make plans accordingly....starting yesterday.

A couple of detail about the position...
I will be at Sakkara Language School, teaching kindergarten. My contract will be until June 15th, so I'll be there approximately six months. The school is in Cairo, Egypt. The school will be providing my accomidations, transportation and reimbursing me for my flight, all of which are fantastic. Egypt has universal health care, so insurance is not an issue. And yes. I have a passport.

You can mail me at
Sara Keough
C/O Sakkara Language School
Block 3, Zahraa El-Maadi
Maadi, Cairo, Egypt
(there is no zip/post code)
FYI TO PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO MAIL CARE PACKAGES: Don't mail packages. You get taxed heavily on the items in there. If you are to send anything, just send a letter.

Sooo as of now, I am getting ready to go out for halloween. Instead of packing for the 11am flight on Tuesday, in which I will be on for aproximately 16 hours. Hooray. I'll try to type more later.
