Egyptian Women in Sports (Nariman Khaled)

This is a combination of different sounds of the Americana Food court at The American University in Cairo.
Sounds are basically of students chatting while having their lunch, chicken on the grill, a female student ordering from Subway and a cash register calling out numbers!
I used H5 Recorder to record these sounds.

The Rundown (What is the Scoop?): Education and Sports, Episode 1

Hadeer Ahmed, Uber Driver, Digital Storytelling. Audio Documentary.

This nat sound essay encompasses my quick tour in the Americana food court of the American University in Cairo, trying to decide what should I order before I rush to class.

Script: It is 10:30 in the morning, and I am already hungry and thinking about having chicken tenders from Butcher’s Burger  at the food court of the American University in Cairo.  As soon as I enter the food court, I hear loud voices of students chatting while eating their food.

 Obviously,  the place is not as crowded as it is during assembly hour, which is from 1-2 in the afternoon and it is the time when all students take a break from their classes, so I easily spotted an empty table.
There is a long queue on Butcher and the cashier is calling out numbers. I thought I was the only hungry person here but seems like everyone else is just as hungry as I am.
I take a small tour between different food outlets, starting by a quick look at Subway although it’s not my favorite, but at least they have got my favorite chips and turkey sandwiches. 
The fried chicken at Smiley’s grill grabs my attention,  which definitely made me more hungry.
Quickly before the clock hits 11, I make a quick decision to please my grumbling stomach and barely make it in time for class

The Rundown (What's The Scoop?): Education & Sports:: Episode 4

This audio documentary is a profile about Magda Haroun, the president of the Egyptian Jewish community, and one of the few Egyptian Jews living in Egypt. 

The purpose of this is to document Haroun’s life and to know the aspect she looked at it from since she was a student until she grew up. 

Tarek Saleh, an AUC alumnus, also gives a perspective on the time when Egyptian Jews used to live in Egypt.
 
Special thanks to the interviewee, Magda Haroun, and to Stephen Urgola for Tarek Saleh’s oral history interview from The American University in Cairo’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library and the university’s archives.
