Volunteering in a farm in the deep, dry desert.

An interesting experience. I went to volunteer at Kmehin, a farmers village near the Egyptian border, at the expensive cost of army vacation days. For four days, we woke up while the sun was sleeping and worked in a cherry tomato farm while it wasn't too hot. It was amazing living on the country side with such modest people. Seeing the beautiful co-existence which enabled the hard job of farming in a tough area like Kmehin gave me needed hope.
