Note to my Readers
Thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings between London and Cairo - the two very different places I call home.
My name is Nelly Ali, I am an anthropologist and a PhD student in the department of Geography, Environment and Development. My research is with Street Children in Cairo. I lecture on Childhood Studies at the Institute of Education, University of London and Anglia Ruskin University. I am also an active commentator on the socio-political situation in Egypt.
