American lady living in Kuwait commenting on daily occurrances through her warped perspective. Her travels take us beyond the boundaries of normalcy. E-mail amerab gmail. Twitter: DesertGirlkwt. Take some stress out of the holiday season and gather 'round our table this Thanksgiving weekend! Enjoy our turkey dinner with all the trimmings, your favorite holiday desserts and a complimentary appetizer, all made from scratch! It's first come, first serve on Thursday and Friday from 6 pm - 10 pm. Celebrating 10 Years of Blogging: Saturday, November 29, Thank you fall for reading my blog. Posted by Desert Girl at PM 8 comments:. Like everything else in Kuwait, Thanksgiving is different Most people somehow wrangle a big turkey from the PX at Arifjan because for the past years, most grocery stores haven't stocked the big ones. If you know of anyplace that has them now, please send me a message amerab gmail. I never thought I would be a conspiracy person and would scoff at my dad, God rest his soul but I have conspiracy theories on just about everything these days, including why there are not big turkeys in Kuwait. I'm off track again. Damn energy drinks! I will first talk about our very humble and down-to-Earth new Ambassador and his wife Ambassador Douglas Silliman and his wife, Catherine. I heard one speech several weeks ago given by Ambassador Silliman and he didn't sound stuffy or like he was reading off a card. He made good eye contact with people and ad-libbed with humor. I liked him. I also liked the new staff who all seem to be equally humble and approachable and are no longer the same crowd of entitled year-olds as in previous postings. While I was at the T-day event at the Embassy, he and Mrs. Silliman walked in. Since they are somewhat new to people in the community arrived in August , a lot of people don't know who they are. Silliman walked alone through the crowd. She introduced herself, 'Hi I'm Catherine. It makes life so much easier. Especially when they are representing my country in Kuwait. What a great first impression I got! I talked briefly about dogs with Catherine she too has an aging dog and vet services in Kuwait. She had also lived in Rhode Island how many of us can there be?! Lovely woman and I hope to have the opportunity to talk more to her in the future. This just gives me something else to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week! Thank you for gracing us. Ok so I'm writing about Thanksgiving, right? The T-day event at the Embassy was catered by the Hilton. Prior to this holiday, it was catered by The Crowne Plaza. I have also had Thanksgiving meals either catered by or directly served at other hotels. Unfortunately, it is all the same, sad story and I'm here to tell you why. You can not have a French or French-style chef preparing an American T-day meal. No no no. There are also no noodles involved in T-day. Or Asian salad. I've been in Kuwait for 18 years. I can count on 3 fingers how many providers of Thanksgiving meals actually get it right. I know, I should just be thankful and stop complaining, right? If I didn't complain, where would my blog be, I axe you? Hilton had canapes of what they called apple, pecan and pumpkin pie. Squash and honey which they labeled 'sweet potatoes and honey'. The log. The sauce. They did, however, do a good job on the turkey. The gravy - not so much. I know that America is a melting pot of different cultures, traditions, religions, and foods brought from all corners of the world. Usually cooked inside the turkey. I like corn bread stuffing. NOT cut into 2' squares. The Sultan Center usually offers a take-away dinner that includes many of the above. The Radisson Hotel also just sent me a flier that appears to be acceptable. November 20, The Times Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities have granted legal status to the Kuwait Society for the Protection of Animals and Their Habitat, affirming the approach towards protecting all living creatures of various species. Aisha Al-Humaidhi, the society chairperson, affirmed the necessity of protecting animals, their habitat and guiding human beings to be kind to these living creatures. She was speaking during a ceremony, held late on Wednesday, marking the society's official proclamation. The society 'has reaped the fruits of its success that has been made since nine years ago and it was posible through diligent work,' she said, mentioning the Association's diverse activities, namely holding workshops aimed at educating the public about theresponsibility of hosting an animal as well as providing refuge for any animals in need for care. Citizens who have animals or pets regularly seek the Society's advice and guidance. It has given refuge for various animals including horses, runs a center for wildlife rehabilitation, animals' reserves, deals with stray animals, environmental cleanliness and relevant education. For her part, the society deputy chairperson, Sheikha Fatma Mubarak Al-Sabah, expressed gratitude to all people who have backed the national association, affirming the resolve to exert further efforts 'to serve our dear Kuwait which deserves to be a minaret for humanity and progress. Elaborating, Sheikha Fatma said the society also deals with smuggled animals to ensure that the relevant law is applied in this regard, monitors cruel treatment of the animals and seeks to improve the habitat for settled and migrating animals, namely birds. Moreover, it is seeking to secure refuge for farm animals that have been discarded or subjected to cruel treatment, in addition to launching the first women program to deal with stray animals, educate adults about farm animals, food resources, marine environmental protection, migrating birds and horses' stables. This has been a long time in the making and a huge accomplishment for all involved. They are my go-to emergency source for strays and abused animals and have never turned down a call for help - at all hours of the day and night. This has included John rushing out to dart and rescue feral puppies living in an on-ramp of a busy highway, and advice from Ayesha on how my friend may be able to re-home you can't actually an aggressive baboon don't buy wild animals! In those early days, I went to Ayesha's home to drop off a stray kitten. I was welcomed by approximately 5 very friendly and well-fed dogs and that was only in their front hall! At one point, they even fostered a baby hyena in their home. No creature was left behind. They had the vision and everything else has fallen into place God has a plan for everything. The shelter has never had to move or been forced out; throughout the years they have been stable and have only increased their mission towards helping animals. The creatures under their care are well fed and well cared for by a small army of trained volunteers. They have become a community educator on animal care and rights, and regularly speak out on the environment. Although petite in stature, Ayesha has more strength than most of the men I've ever come across and I include many of the toughest military people I have ever worked with. The only time I have ever seen her look 'small' was after the shelter fire. I think I actually hugged her and I'm not a huggy person because she looked so frail and distraught. Animal lives were lost that day, but strength of character and strength of the community was set in a determined line to get them where they are today. It was actually hard for me to recognize any of the people in this photo because I have never seen any of them in formal attire; they are usually working with animals; or making a brief appearance before going out to work with animals; or going home to take care of animals. Unfortunately, something as seemingly-simple as opening a business in Kuwait can take years. Trying to open a legally-licensed animal shelter is a long, frustrating and tedious undertaking. Unless you own land and are backed by people of influence who can orchestrate actual change in the country, there is little chance that you will ever be able to obtain legal status. K'S PATH has been blessed by the generosity of others - in terms of dedication, generosity of spirit, land and material items, hard work and outright fortitude of character of all those involved. It is now the ONLY legally-recognized animal shelter in Kuwait - and the first to be officially recognized as an animal shelter in Kuwait. I only met Sheikha Fatma once briefly and admired her as she was so down-to-Earth. I've heard that she has been a huge help to the shelter over the years. She's one of those people who puts hands-on work behind a cause she believes in. Congratulations to you all. I really look forward to seeing where you are in another 10 years!

Notice the lack of teeth, people, and the gaping wound Before and after crystal meth Some people in Kuwait believe'Shabu' in local dialect or crystal meth as we know it in the US is being brought from outside Kuwait. It is not. The ingredients for making it are already here in Kuwait. It is cooked. It is cheap. If you smell some weird chemical smell, it may be your neighbors in their own meth lab. Educate your kids. It's not a joke. Posted by Desert Girl at PM 6 comments:. Sunday, November 16, I hurt someone I care about. I hurt someone I like a lot this weekend. Not meaning to, but I did. I rarely hurt people and when I do - and know about it - I can't stop obsessing about it. I met 2 friends during the summer 2 men who have known each other for a long time. We all have German Shepherds. We all became friends, but it was apparent that I liked one of them I'll call him Coast Guard because that's his job more than the other one I'm going to call him CG wasn't sending me any signals. I asked about him numerous times which I'm sure he passed along. I sent CG messages through Instagram. No responses except once when he sent me a message, 'I miss you. But then, invited me to go visit them - and I did with The Romanian that's right - we've been friends again for a while. CG was there and he acted interested in me. He acted happy to see me. But he never gave me his number or anything did. CG was cold to say the least, but I got a few little smoke signals, so I thought there might be a chance. I'm generally clueless these days so who knows - I may be missing things. Then I thought maybe he was married. Or has a girlfriend. Or married and has a girlfriend. I didn't know well enough to ask him either. She has a boyfriend, so it was off. I sent CG a message and told him I missed him. I got nothing back. I called him once and he answered and said he was busy and would call me back, but never did. I was pretty sure I should give up and move on. This weekend, I called and he invited me to go see him. I had my dog with me and I was only planning to stop by for a little while. I assumed he would be there. He wasn't. We sat and talked and said that he called CG, but CG didn't answer. About an hour later, CG called and asked him to come over. CG was supposed to come, but then told him I was there and he said he changed his mind and was going home. He went on to say a LOT of nice things about his friend This all sounds so high school, doesn't it? Like someone should be passing notes back and forth, right? No, my friends, welcome to Kuwait So, I sent CG a bunch of text messages. I professed my 'like' for him. I told him that I couldn't stop thinking about him and hoped that he felt the same way. His response: 'Don't call me again. And I guess he had the right to be upset because was putting the moves on me lit some candles and put on Mariah Carey And maybe CG knows his friend I hate these games and it seems like guys here play it against each other to see who can 'get' the girl. Ok, bygones. Nobody is 'getting' me. I'm staying away from Bad-News If he would do that to his friend, he's no friend to anyone. I hate having people be hurt or upset because of me. I sent GC a little gift with a note. That's all I can do. If we are meant to be friends or more , I'll find out down the road. I'm just really sorry that I hurt his feelings. Goat Love Story. I had a very eventful weekend. The big news is that I was gifted 2 more goats. I have known Rashed for a long time, but I never knew he 'liked' me. You know - kinda crushin on me. Well, Rashed gave me my 2nd goat, Nina formerly 'Nacho' but it just didn't suit her. I believe that Nina is too young to have kids. Rashed told me she isn't and should have conceived by now. So, he said he was going to 'replace' Nina with another female goat. Uh uh! I don't 'replace' pets. Besides, Paco is totally smitten with Nina. They 'hug' each other he puts his neck over her neck and they cuddle. They're so cute together and it has taken months of his efforts to get her to love him. She can't be 'replaced'. I told Rashed in no uncertain terms! So, he insisted on bringing me another female goat; but then thought harder and came up with the idea that perhaps it isn't Nina's fault that she hasn't become pregnant yet, but Paco's. Oh noooo you di'in't! My Paco is all man! Rashed then insisted that he bring me 2 more goats; instead of one female goat, he would bring me a male and a female. Nina is jealous! Meak-meager little slight of a goat; she keeps head-butting the female away from Paco. And the little male goat just quivers in the corner. They are both really young. Paco seems happy, however. I'm glad about that. They'll all get used to each other in time and learn to be a goat family, I'm sure. God help me if no one gets pregnant, however. I'm pretty sure that Rashed will come to the rescue with more goats. So, I'm officially a goat farmer now. They're super-cute and very smart. Ok, so back to Rashed. He's one of my 'brother', Hmood's, good friends. I've seen Rashed many times over the years. He's a nice guy, but most of the time, I don't pay attention and miss signals aka 'clueless'. Perhaps goat-gifting should have been a big clue. I dunno Some girls get trips or cars or even candle-lit dinners. I am unique you know it by now, don't ya? I get goats. Hmood finally told me. I was like, 'Oh my God! All he had to do was to buy me a hamburger from McDonald's! So this weekend, Rashed finally invited me to lunch and it was lovely. He continued to sit a respectable 4' away from me that will probably last another year or so We went to have lunch with his friends who have apparently heard all about me where was I?! Nice people. Nice lunch. Good start. Posted by Desert Girl at PM 1 comment:. Finally, I see something in the newspaper about this epidemic in Kuwait. Arab Times. For this reason, the constitutional union bloc organized a seminar at its headquarters in South Surra Wednesday night. Dr Hassan Al-Musawi, a well known psychologist and education specialist was first of the speakers to assert that the recent spread of crystal meth cases is due to the lack of awareness, and the improper manner of addressing the addict, in addition to numerous other factors. He asserted that we have to look at the issue from a bigger perspective, and for the general public to stop looking down on parents with children that are addicted to some sort of drug, for the sole reason that it is not constructive in any way. When it comes to governmental authorities and the general public, Dr Hassan stated that it is not helpful when authorities treat individuals with Gender Identity Disorder GID or an addict as some sort of degenerate, or parents and families giving up and accepting that this is their punishment from God. To further assert his point, Abdullah shared the story of one of the first drug dealers caught distributing crystal meth. He was later caught, but was confident enough to answer the Kuwaiti Drug Enforcement Authority when he was asked what it is he is distributing. On his turn, Abdulrahman Al-Saleem an experienced pharmacist and a member of the board of directors at the Kuwaiti Pharmacists Association, asserted that Methamphetamine is considered one of the top ten most dangerous drugs, just next to Heroin and Cocaine. Abdulrahman revealed that the majority of the substance if not all of it, that is being distributed in the country is not imported from outside the country, but rather being produced inside. He also lamented the fact that the country does not recognize the capability of rehabilitation centers in cleaning up an addict, leaving parents with no other choice but to send their addicted children to psychologists, which in his opinion is not an affective measure. On the other hand, Ahmed Al- Hunayan, an expert in computers and IT shed light on another phenomenon that has been spreading recently. Although the affects are only on a mental level, the danger lies on how this product is being marketed. Youth who find their way into these kind of websites, download the file, and experience the high, will only wonder how the real drug feels like, which might lead them to purchasing the actual drug. Of note is that this article is full of spelling and punctuation mistakes. Spell check, dudes. Older people are using too. The whole country seems to be tweaking. The stuff costs less than alcohol.

Mohammad Al-Enezi, EPA's acting director general, told KUNA the authority has been following up on this renewed phenomenon since last Saturday, when the Public Authority for Agriculture and Fish Resources, filed reports confirming location of red spots floating at various locations in the territorial sea waters. Special teams have scooped up some samples for analysis, he said, affirming capacity to 'cope with such emergency situations. The red tide is a common name for a phenomenon known as an algal bloom large concentrations of aquatic microorganisms when it is caused by a few species of dinoflagellates and the bloom takes on a red or brown color. Red tides are events in which estuarine, marine, or fresh water algae accumulate rapidly in the water column, resulting in coloration of the surface water. It is usually found in coastal areas. Why do these algae accumulate? Pollution like sewage, runoff, and chemicals. Dumping, etc. Then what happens? The algae grows. There is less oxygen in the water. The fish die. We have a stinky, nasty mess on the beaches and no one goes fishin. Don't eat that! In , tonnes of fish washed up in the Bay of Kuwait. It was NAS-teh. The whole seaside smelled like rotting fish for months. It was the same deal. I hope we're not in for more disgustingness soon. I can't even get out to camp in the desert. Where to go?

Runaway maids reluctant to use Govt facility Human Rights Watch When Human Rights Watch visited the facility, it was operating under capacity, despite the pressing need for shelter hundreds of domestic workers face, and overcrowding at embassy shelters. Wikipedia — Migrant Workers in Kuwait. They revealed that the suspects are using a number of websites to incite the Bedoun youths to become fighters for the Islamic State IS or the so-called DAESH, by exploiting their financial and humanitarian sufferings. They explained that the State Security forces have received information about an instigator who has been playing a pivotal role in this regard and preparing interested Bedoun men as a prelude to helping them leave Kuwait via air and sea ports to join the DAESH camps in Iraq and Syria. The sources praised the efforts being exerted by the officers of State Security Department for tracking down the supporters of DAESH and thwarting their plans externally and internally based on a unique security strategy. Again, people without hope turn to desperation. What do 'they' think is going to happen? The situation is a time bomb — and it is an internal one at that.

I had been hearing about Dogdom and a guy named 'Khalid' on Facebook and through fellow dog lovers in Kuwait. I had the opportunity to meet him several months ago during the kick-off meeting for the creation of the Kuwait Kennel Club. There was a room full of breeders, trainers, and people like me, who generally connect the dots between all. They have similar philosophies regarding dog socialization and training. Like-minded people with like-minded techniques and a great love of animals. I walked away from the meeting knowing a little more about Khalid and eager to learn more about how he deals with dogs; since everything I had felt was good energy. Mikey had the opportunity to socialize with other same-breed dogs; and I learned that Khalid and his golden retriever, Phoebe, had visited one day and got to play with Mikey and the gang Angel actually sent me a video while I was in the States. I've seen Khalid a few times here and there mostly at PetZone which is where his Dogdom group is in partnership with and meets for dog instruction and socialization. He's usually surrounded by a bunch of people; many big, burly large-breed-dog owners who seem to be hanging on every word Khalid has to say about how to handle their dogs. This past week, I was very concerned because Mikey had been acting aggressively during a beach gathering for the Kennel Club mostly large breed dogs, but some small. He barked constantly for 2 hours and was very aggressive to another German Shepherd; a workline female who belongs to my friend and who Mikey has played with. LucyFur is generally very aggressive evil - Lucifer towards Mikey at the farm and they usually spend about 10 minutes in what appears to be a fierce dog battle with teeth bared and foaming at the mouth. However, there is never any hard biting and skin has never been broken. After the 10 minutes, they play like litter mates. I have heard that this is the norm with many workline German Shepherds. Mikey is a less-aggressive showline German Shepherd bred for looks and not heavy work and he could easily learn the aggression by watching. At the gathering, I wondered if Mikey was seeking revenge on LucyFur as she was not in her territory. She was acting very timid and was afraid of the larger dogs; not at all her normal self at the farm. She was out of her element and has not been socialized. Mikey initiated this time and struck out at her several times. I was genuinely concerned and embarrassed in front of all the other well-behaved-dog owners. I called Khalid and told him the entire story. His response was NOT at all what I expected. Mikey was aggressive and a bigfatbully! He was confused and didn't like it at all. It was my ' aha ' doggy moment. Lucy was not. Wallah fascinating. It was interesting because people I knew on the beach that day asked me several times, 'Why is he so pissed off? Now I get it. After Mikey went to obedience school, I have been searching for more training for him. I have learned that Khalid holds 3-month courses of socialization and behavior. Their meetings are structured and owners are given exercises to go through with the dogs. You fill out a membership card at PetZone, pay a fee, and you can attend the courses and be invited to the Dogdom beach gatherings - also structured. I haven't owned a big dog in many years. I think I've forgotten some of the language. I'm looking forward to being re-taught at some of the Dogdom classes! I'll let you know how it goes. If you're interested in the Dogdom program, contact: Khalid Al-Qassem, Canine Behaviour Consultant, mobile: or , e-mail: dogdomkuwait gmail. Or stop by PetZone in Rai and ask. Give a dog a bone? The article below appeared in Bazaar Magazine in June of It will serve as the introduction to my 2nd post on Dogdom. Reprinting with their permission. It started in August when 4-year-old Aisha was attacked by a pack of dogs while on the beach in Khiran. Her father, Mohamed Al-Mulla told Al-Rai Daily that it had been an enjoyable afternoon at the chalet until he heard the shrill scream of his little girl. He rushed to her aid and found six stray dogs had bitten off her ear, maimed her face and dragged her across the beach. Khalid Al-Qassem, a dog owner for more than 35 years was shocked at the brutal incident. According to Al-Qassem, there are currently more than adoptable dogs in Kuwait, with many more strays on the street. Owners may discard their pets when they move away from Kuwait, or, more often, find dog ownership to be more of a hassle then expected and discard their pets. So, Al-Qassem put his corporate career in Human Resources on hiatus and decided to combine his skills with dog knowledge and philosophy to start Dogdom. His new rehabilitation service aims to reintegrate dogs into the families they belong to, or the pack, and it has just as much to do with humans as it does with the dogs themselves. Wolves have a magnificent sense of community, and bonding, their relationship is amazing. His solution? Dogs by nature are pack animals, and are either leaders or submissive members of the pack. Specific actions define the leader: he eats first, walks in front, passes through narrow openings first and demands actions. But, being the leader is stressful for the dog and they become more territorial, experience anxiety disorder when one of the pack you and everyone in the house leaves and feels a general sense of responsibility for all the tasks in the house. So how do you give your dog a job? According to Al-Qassem it starts from the moment you decide you want to add a canine to your family. He has developed a 9 point puppy test that he explains in his lectures at Petzone and with individual clients in their homes. At Dogdom he takes on clients looking for a puppy and helps them with the assessment. First he visits them at their home to understand the environment the dog will be living in and observes the family schedule. He sits with his clients and has them consider why they want a dog, and what it will add to their lives. We pick the right dog and you have a running partner for the next ten years whether you want to run or not. They are patient animals that are more than happy to be submissive to the leader of the pack, otherwise known as their owners. Recently he was asked to help a client with a raging mix of Rottweiler German Shepherd. The dog was dangerous and difficult, and had bit a little girl just days before. When Al-Qassem arrived he found the collar was digging into its skin and they had kept him locked in the cage for the past week out of fear. Al-Qassem did dominance exercise with the dog the first day, but left him in the cage. He went back for five days and finally placed him on the leash for a walk. At first he was fine, and engaged in the pack activity, until he stopped to pee. Since the dog was not neutered he needed to mark his space. Eventually, Al-Qassem recommended the dog be put down, because it could not become a productive member of any pack due to its extreme aggression. While killing a dog is not the ideal solution to most problems, it is a difficult decision he must be able to make when attempting to rehabilitate a dog. We are doing this with a sense of humanity. This dog was a danger to society and it is our responsibility as humanitarians to put the dog down. There, a beautiful mid-sized golden retriever will probably be sitting or standing quietly. Kuwaiti Bedoons No-Nationality now to become African??? Wikipedia: The Comoro Islands or Comoros form an archipelago of volcanic islands situated off the south-east coast of Africa, to the east of Mozambique and north-west of Madagascar. So now my Bedoon friends friends who have NO nationality and are not able to obtain birth certificates for their children are now African? What does their culture, their history, their decent have to do with Comoros? They're Arab. Many have proven DNA links to Kuwaiti family members. I woke up in a foul mood mood this morning and it now just got 1, times worse. This is yet another ridiculous ploy to cover up the Bedoon issue. Grant those deserving citizenship! Lawmaker Warns Government Would Collapse. The lawmaker warned that if this plan is implemented, it will lead to bitter repercussions such as the collapse of the entire government. Those who accept the offer would be given free residence permits in Kuwait, in addition to a series of incentives like free education and healthcare and the right to employment, Jarrah was quoted as saying. Don't believe the hype, I'm just sayin The process would start as soon as an embassy for Comoros is opened in Kuwait in the coming months. More than , stateless people were born and raised in Kuwait and claim the right to citizenship in the country. The Kuwaiti government, which describes them as illegal residents, says only 34, qualify for consideration for citizenship. The rest are considered natives of other countries who either emigrated to Kuwait after the discovery of oil five decades ago or were born to these migrants. In the past three years, Bedouns have held demonstrations to demand citizenship and other basic rights, and police have dispersed them using force, arresting hundreds who are on trial for illegal protests and assaulting police. A Kuwaiti lawmaker in April proposed to send stateless people convicted of breaching public security and protesting to a camp he suggested should be built in the desert. Comoros is an archipelago state located off eastern Africa and is a member of the Arab League. He also wants to know the truth about the alleged plan to send Bedouns to Comoro Islands, date of drafting this plan, body which met officials of Comoros to discuss the issue, details of the agreement between the parties if any, legality of such action and whether it is in line with international treaties or not. He alleged the Bedoon issue is not part of the priorities of the current Parliament, accusing some people of using the issue to gain popularity and to serve electoral interests. He intends to present questions to the prime minister and minister of interior in this regard. He and other MPs will soon discuss the possibility of requesting for the formation of an investigative committee or submit a grilling request on this issue. He then urged his fellow MPs in the Human Rights Committee to prioritize the issue if they are really keen on protecting human rights and rejecting injustice. One of the Comoros Islands Sorry, but I can't imagine a bunch of Bedoon guys dropped off on a tropical island. That would be like 'Dr. Samhan' in reverse. They would probably immediately open a sheesha cafe. And where would you buy banak? Labels: Bedoun Civil Rights. Sunday, November 09, Tours of Kuwait. They do guided tours of Kuwait and accept requests for 'off the beaten path' types of adventures like searching for filming locations, etc. They are very flexible and have reasonable prices. They just invited me to their farm this weekend to thank me for all the referrals that have been made through this blog over the past few years. You will get the real flavor of the country and it's culture from these people literally - sometimes as guests walk along through the old souq's, the tour guides will stop to talk to friends they know and vendors will say, 'try this Consider taking a tour of Kuwait. Morqab Tours pricing may have changed - as the flier above is dated. Phone: NOTE: This is not a paid advertisement. They cook me dinner and I get to hear stories. That's about it! I just really like them. Thursday, November 06, Camping War Begins. The Municipality is taking away a Kuwaiti cultural activity that has gone on for generations and dates back to Bedouin tribes roaming the desert. The Municipality have made deposits so high that some families can't afford to pay. Other families are upset because the land size limits them only to the ability to set up camp for one or two families, so that extended families can't camp together again, breaking a tradition. People are mad. I'm one of them. Many of my friends including my own group of seasonal camping buddies have decided that it is all too much. We are sticking to the farm this year. I want to be in my tent!!! The Government has found yet another way to create more bureaucracy, paperwork, and tedium. And, worst of all, some guy deciding where you can to camp. That translates to wastah and wealthy people being able to rent plots of land and then re-rent at higher prices. Where else do you go? Are people supposed to just set up tents along the Gulf Road to enjoy the weather? This sucks. I think you'll notice a lot less camps this year. And corruption? Oh gee, now there is a shocker The muftah the key person allegedly reserved several spots for himself, his family, friends and even his domestic servants when the camping season opened. He then began to sell these reservations to citizens looking to set up their camps in prime locations. Thousands of camps are set up, mostly in Ahmadi, Farwaniya and Jahra governorates in selected desert areas overseen by the Municipal Council. Under a new system by the Municipality that aims to organize the camping season and help protect the environment, campers must now register for a designated spot and pay a fee of KD 50 plus a KD deposit. Using GPS coordinates and an online registration system, the Municipality invited would-be campers to apply for a campsite. But according to several campers that Kuwait Times spoke with in various camping areas around Kuwait, at least one Municipality supervisor is withholding the best spots for sale on the desert camp black market. They said everyone wants the most popular locations, although we have been camping there every year. Furthermore, the locations on their system are wrong, as I applied for a location in Julaia, and the system gave me a location in Mina Abdullah. The locations differ in price. But practically, people are selling their sites for different prices depending on the demanded areas. Abu Ahmad, another Kuwaiti camper, confirmed that he paid the Municipality employee for a good camp location. He mentioned other what he called the exploitation of the system. Imagine how many people paid the KD , and this money will be in some account for five months. So who will get the profits of this? Posted by Desert Girl at AM 9 comments:. Wednesday, November 05, Addiction Seminar: November Smoking, drugs, alcohol or any other habitual activities can turn into addictions that negatively affect our lives and those of our loved ones. Often addicts do not recognize these signs or are in denial and need help to overcome these habits. Join us on Monday, 10th November, from 5 — 8 pm at the Gulf University for Science and Technology Auditorium W where leading experts will speak about the causes, prevention and cures for common addictions. From Addiction to Recovery … the possible Journey. The seminar is open to all and completely free of charge. Kuwait's Poor Children. You see them approach cars and offer to sell perfume sprays, pack of face towels, boxes of tissues and fun toys for kids. As young as six years old, these street children reflect the frustrations of not being able to sell their products at the end of the night; while remaining potential victims to road accidents and ensnared to commit aggravated crimes. The Times spoke to these children and, in return for purchasing their items, learned about their frustrations and simple wishes in life. Musaad, who is ten years old, lives with his two brothers and four sisters in Andalus. His father died of cancer few years back and left them in the care of their mother. He stopped going to school last year, not because, the family could not afford to send him to school, but because they had no interest in academics. Musaad lamented that his mother is often out of the house and stays with her aunt leaving them hungry and unattended. Musaad sells whatever he steals outside the grounds of Friday market in order to avoid getting caught by the local authorities. Clad in dirty disdasha and worn out slippers, Musaad makes the Friday market his personal playground and moneyearning place. Similarly, Hamoud is twelve years old, and has never attended school; his mother and father have been divorced for the past five years. Hamoud lives with his brother who is married and out of job. At an early age, Hamoud started working with his brother for a fils shop in Rigga, he used to clean the shop before it opened and earned small amount of KD 75 in a month. This was sufficient for him to buy what he wanted and somehow, feed himself for a month. Their mother left him and his two brothers and sister to the custody of their father, who got re-married. For sometime Hamoud and his sister used to receive monthly financial support from their father but eventually, due to the influence of his stepmother, they were forced to live on their own and support themselves. The monthly financial assistance stopped and their father refused to see them. Hamoud no longer works for the fils shop because he was accused of stealing things from the shop. Hamoud sighed that he did not steal anything but was wrongly accused by the owner of the shop. Hamoud and his brother now peddle perfume sprays in Messilah and Salmiyah daily to earn small amount to support them. Six years old Fadhel could be the youngest peddler one can see along the streets of Salmiyah. Fadhel used to accompany his brother in Souk Salmiyah to sell pirated CDs and videotapes and just like Musaad; they earn fils for every 3 CDs they sell. To add to the income, they would sell perfume sprays. Fadhel wishes to become a doctor someday and own his own play station. Fadhel hardly talked during his interview, but one can notice the hardships this kid is going though. When asked if he is not afraid of getting into accidents because of the rushing cars, Fahdel replied with a smile. Fadhel, Musaad, and Hamoud are just among the increasing number of street children with no proper legal status in Kuwait. The heat of the sun, hunger, danger of being hit by cars, belittled, and the disappointment of not able to sell and earn at least a one dinar in a day, are just some of anguishes these kids go through every day. Statistics show that divorce cases have increased this year and would most likely increase the following year. Infidelity, domestic violence and lack of financial support are the common reasons why divorces happen in the country and in between such battle are the children who suffer. The two-hour interview concluded with The Times offering to take them home and, as promised, purchased the items they peddled. They got off from the car, bade goodbye and disappeared into the night. What remained was stories of survival learned from these children. For every item bought from these children and given out to friends will be a reminiscing story about them that must be told and questions asked as to why there were poor children in such a rich country? Has there been any update to this story? Organizers of the protest disclosed the number of children deprived of their right to education will reach 3, if those in other levels were added to the elementary pupils. They argued that education is not only a constitutional and legal right as stated in international charters, but it is also a humanitarian and religious right in line with Islamic tenets. They claimed whoever deprives children of the right to education is committing a crime. He asserted these children have become victims of the system. He said the system destroyed the Bedoun parents for several years, so the next step now is to destroy their children by denying them the right to education and regularize their status. He demanded civil society organizations to make a clear stand on this issue. He added that 70 percent of military personnel who participated in wars to defend the country are Bedouns. He also urged the Ministry of Education to defy the decision by allowing Bedoun children to enroll in public schools. In its statement, the society insisted that the right to education is one of the basic rights that have been warranted by all the national laws, covenants, and international and regional agreements. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, of which Kuwait is a signatory and had not expressed any reservations when signing the pledge, also specifies this right. Such decisions tarnish the international reputation of the country. Kuwait will present its second Human Rights report in January next year. Therefore, it is important for the report to reflect development in terms of human rights. What would you do if these were your children? If you had thought, since the last time school was in session, that your children would be going to a particular school. You buy their school clothes, their supplies And then, you are not allowed to register your kids. What are your alternatives? Have you looked at private school tuition fees in Kuwait lately? I don't think I could afford to put a kid into school on my salary - and I make a good one. What about Bedoon parents some of whom are not allowed to hold regular jobs - think of those guys on the traffic circle selling beans They certainly can't afford it. What do you do? What do the kids do? It shouldn't be about greed! Newer Posts Older Posts Home. Subscribe to: Posts Atom. Born in America, but raised with Kuwaitis, I get culture shock on both continents.
