LEAP - AIESEC Research Initiative to Palestine 2006-2008

Jonas and I had waited at Cairo airport yesterday until Kathrin arrived at 19:05h as well. We took a taxi to Ain Sokhna where we were along around 21:30h.
A lot of familiar faces I knew from last year's IC (International Conference) in Poland welcomed us throughout the whole evening. Especially the MENA delegates who I had been with at the IC were very happy to meet us three. Therefore we had a lot of talks to country representatives who wanted to now how the extensions were going, what our plans are and why everything is so complicated. In-between we had a short coordination meeting with Lara and Hajo, our MCPs current resp. elect. At around 3 o'clock in the morning I was dismissed to go to bed after Kathrin, Jonas and I had discussed some questions the MENA countries had accorded us. In return we wrote down our questions we have to them.

Today started like yesterday had finished. After Morning Plenary I had the chance to rest while everybody else was attending some kind of company workshops - I was totally tired. But since around lunch we are having conversations with several people again.
this evening will be Official Dinner, so we will get dressed. ;) And then afterwards we will have THE big meeting with the MENA MCPs, Lara, Hajo, Tamer as proposed MENA director, and us as extension leaders. Depending on this discussion we will present the motion of extending to Israel and Palestine in tomorrow's Legislation Talks; this is kind of Matrix talks where all motions present themselves to persuade the delegates to support their applications.

I will try to take some pictures later on - be patient, it is quite nice over here. :)
