🇰🇼 Kuwait

Region: Middle East

Mama Hissa’s Mice

Author:  Saud Alsanousi

400 pages, published 2019

Original language: Arabic

Native author? Yes

Age: Teen-Adult

Blurb:

Growing up together in the Surra section of central Kuwait, Katkout, Fahd, and Sadiq share neither ethnic origin nor religious denomination--only friendship and a rage against the unconscionable sectarian divide turning their lives into war-zone rubble. To lay bare the ugly truths, they form the protest group Fuada's Kids. Their righteous transgressions have made them targets of both Sunni and Shi'a extremists. They've also elicited the concern of Fahd's grandmother, Mama Hissa, a story-spinning font of piety, wisdom, superstition, and dire warnings, who cautions them that should they anger God, the sky will surely fall.

Then one day, after an attack on his neighborhood leaves him injured, Katkout regains consciousness. His friends are nowhere to be found. Inundated with memories of his past, Katkout begins a search for them in a world that has become unrecognizable but not forsaken.

Snaking through decades of Kuwaiti history well into a cataclysmic twenty-first century, Mama Hissa's Mice is a harrowing, emotional, and caustic novel of rebellion. It also speaks to the universal struggle of finding one's identity and a reason to go on, even after the sky has fallen.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Lucy, I am 16 years old and in 2021 I will travelling to Nepal as part of a World Challenge Expedition. 

World Challenge have been giving students the opportunity to have unique travel experiences for over 30 years now, travelling to places like Tanzania, Nepal, Iceland and Nicaragua, to name a few. Their aim is to make students better global citizens. World Challenge also make sure they are doing the most they can to not have a bad impact on the environment by carbon offsetting flights, not using single-use plastics and much more. As part of the expeditions, teams are asked to take part in a project to help one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.  To find out more about World Challenge visit https://weareworldchallenge.com/uk/ 

So, why am I telling you this? 

I am writing this because I am lucky enough to have the chance to be a part of this amazing scheme in 2021 when 50 of my classmates and I will be travelling to Kathmandu, Nepal, for a life changing experience. To be able to go on this, we must be able to fundraise for our trip. I will be selling cakes, doing sponsored events, and much more and would love to share my journey with you. So, please follow this blog and come back for regular posts and updates on my World Challenge Journey. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you have any questions please ask them in the notes or send me a message. I hope to see you again on my next post, 

Lucy :)

Three way tie for the lead at Hero World Challenge

Henrik Stenson (69), Jon Rahm (69) and Tony Finau (67) share the lead at 13-under as the Hero World Challenge reaches an exciting climax

Nassau (Bahamas), 01 December 2018: As the Sun baked the course at Albany, the greens were playing smooth as ice. With the pins tucked away at inconvenient corners, the third round of the Hero World Challenge provided for some gripping golf. So much for just laying the table for Sunday though, as Henrik Stenson, Tony Finau and Jon Rahm lined up at the top for a promising battle for the bulky trophy.

Stenson was in command, playing some crispy golf through the 12th. He went four under on the front nine and made three straight pars after the turn.

But he slipped up at the 13th and 16th, conceding bogeys against a single back nine birdie, on the par-5 15thhole.

The late spills allowed Jon Rahm and Tony Finau, both trailing by two at one stage, to catch up with the Swede at the top of the leaderboard.

Rahm matched the 69 posted by Stenson, while Finau climbed up the order with a brilliant 67 on a course toughened by tricky pin positions.
