If any of you heard about the rockslide in Cairo this morning, it happened in Garbage City, the Coptic Christian enclave we visited last week. A six-story building was demolished by the slide, and at least 20 people are dead. A lot of the MESPers do service projects in that area; four of my flatmates went there yesterday to visit the orphanage there. Barrett, our MESP intern, just called; no one is allowed to go there until further notice. Please pray for the people living there.
Here's the story at the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7601761.stm

Jess Sohre showed me pictures of Garbage City last year. The community looked like it had a knack for making something out of nothing. I'll definitely be in prayer for them during this time.
