I'll admit that I am a very optimistic person, because I believe that it is ultimately the only attitude that makes any sense in life, so don't be too hard on me if you think I'm very naive. I want to think that all of these problems are why we care in the first place, and that it's what we're here to fix. It seems to be a bit overwhelming though, but if we're serious about this we should really focus on one thing at the time, and understand that we can't save the whole town at once.
We should definitely not give up before we've even tried.
One way to look at it is this: If this whole project fails in a year, but we've managed to teach one little kid in Cairo how to read, I'd say it's been worth it.
There is no doubt that we have to step out of out comfort zone for this, but we have to remember why we do that. We shouldn't drown ourselves in the process, of course, but if nobody does anything, nothing will ever be done. This is what change and revolution is all about.
If we could just fix that darn house, we'll have accomplished much more than anyone actually dared to dream of, as a community. We need it. It will make a difference, even if it means more to us than to Cairo.
For starters, there are fairly cheap electrical heaters we could invest in.
Our plan is still to raise money and buy stuff, and I believe we can accomplish this by keep finding solutions to things and remembering why it's important that we do so. There might be many places like Cairo, but if we want to see change, we might as well start here and see it through.
EDIT: I should perhaps clarify that this isn't directed at you, falseramona, you are doing an excellent job with keeping us updated about what you find over there. I just felt it was important to balance all this misery with some hope. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going, right? :)
