على_طريق_الله Ala Tarek Allah


Asalamu Alaykom,



This is the Mustafa Hosny show, "Ala Tarek Allah," from Al-Nahar.  He introduces me at the 32 minute mark.

I'll work on getting an accurate translation of what he says about me.  If any of you feel capable of doing that for me, I'd sure appreciate it.  

I speak for about five minutes.

You'll see pictures I gave the producers.  The first picture is me as a baby after my baptism with my mom and dad.  Then, you'll see my dad along with Mr. Boo. I'm disappointed you don't see the pictures of my mom and I; there was one of us at her church and one of her from our last visit to America.  Instead, you will see Mr. Boo and I under an Egyptian flag when we first got here.  You'll see me in front of the Sphinx and Mr. Boo and I on our roof with the Pyramids in the background.  You'll see me with kindergarten kids here in Egypt and with my first graders from America.  The last two photos are from when Mr. Boo was little.  If you keep watching, you'll see us with a tall, dark and goofy guy.

Of course, there was more that I said but it was edited down.  I hope that what was shown in the video is helpful somehow.

Let me know what you think and feel.

Asalamu Alaykom,




That's me on Egyptian TV.  It's not the big interview for Al-Nahar; that's airing tomorrow on Saturday, March 23 at 11 pm (and again Sunday, March 24 at 11 am).

This is me from January, 2011 before the Revolution.  I was interviewed for a segment on Cherifa Aboul Fettouh's nutrition show.  If you're trying to find me, it's about six minutes into the program and then twice more after that.  Yes, I speak in Arabic and of course it doesn't sound quite right.

Enjoy what you can.
