Weza’s parents commented on the difference between the public schools and Hope House. “At the center, children learn to read and study together. At school, they didn’t learn anything. It’s not good enough, the teachers don’t teach the kids well. It’s a year gone with the wind. May next year be better,” her mother said. Even Weza recognized the difference between the two schooling methods and expressed her preference for the center education.
Even with Weza’s desire to pursue becoming a doctor and her good grades, her responsibilities at home continue to loom in the background, threatening to pull her back into the way of life for many poorer, Christian women in Egypt. Hope House seeks to equip her to be able to fight the systemic and generational persecution that would otherwise keep her in the home, preparing food and cleaning.
