This Little Home \u2013 A new message to friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

I waited that long (10 months) before sticking this new message. I should admit that this corner continues to be my favorite place where I interact with friends and remember the good days. During the past 10 months I have carried out several tasks which made me little busy. I discovered that it is healthy to move from busy to relaxing from time to time. I use a part of my less busy days, working on the Arabic-English glossary in order to upload it hopefully\u00a0soon.\u00a0My real happiness if you find some value in this glossary. As promised, I was able and will continue to upload my presentations\u00a0for general use. I hope it will be at the level to meet your expectation.<\/p>\n

During the past few months I delivered series of lectures in few training courses which is a real enjoyment. In the present, I am teaching in the \u201cWarm Water Fish Production\u201d training course which is organized by the Egyptian International Center for Agriculture (EICA) and supported by JICA. There are 16 African participants from 7 countries in this course who are really a wonderful group.<\/p>\n

On Sunday (May, 15), I travelled to Abbassa to deliver two lectures to Egyptian trainees. I felt very much touched when I found that my office is still there carrying my name sign and I used the office after 18 months of retirement. In fact, I requested my colleagues in World Fish to take off the sign. They were kind enough to let me open the training course the same way I used to do for 11 years. By the way, with the support of the World Fish Center, I finished a review on the training activities that took place in Abbassa from 1999 \u2013 2009.

On personal level, things are quite for most of the time except when my kids and grandchildren visit. My wife and I continue to wait for these visits and enjoy few noisy days. Sometime in July, I expect a family gathering where flying birds (travelling kids) will be home. I am doing fine although I have put some weight and so I start morning or evening walk.<\/p>\n

That may be enough for now. While hoping you are doing very well, it will be a real pleasure to hear from you from time to time. If you visit and wish to say hello, you may click here.
