Hello all, it has been a while I know.. a lot is happening and I am still adjusting. Ajwaad is now three months and ten days old. quiet a grown baby:) but his needs are increasing. I wanted to participate and say many things during this long time but didn't succeed, so I'll put some of them together in one msg. first of all I would like to congratulate another friend and colleauge of ours who followed me and delivered a handsome baby boy less than a month ago. It is Dr Haseena Lockhat. Her baby is named Ayman, which means blessed. I wish her and her baby all the best. I found out also that in the UK you have an undrestanding system for mothers' needs that is envied by ME, your maternity leaf extends to six months ( ours is only two months). I wished also to congratulate Haseena on her first published book: 'Female Genital Mutilation: Treating the Tears' , by Middlesex Univ. Press few months ago. It is an intersting book that needs a hard heart to read, very disturbing. From there I move to the conference sponsored by Amnesty International last Jan or Feb in Bahrain about Women's Violence in the Gulf. I would like to ask AlBaqer, our friend in the list to update us on what happened and the outcome of that important conf. I heard that there were many Saudi women participating and some powerful inputs. so let us know. I shall leave it here. ps. sorry for the format of my msg, I have a problem with my computer. my usual luck I guess:), the 'enter' key does not work, and waiting for backing up my files, some of which need this key, then I can send it for repair.. a vicious cercle. Salam, Hatoon ps2. attached is the link to an interview appeared in the Guardian during the busy time of municipal elections' story. http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,,1404841,00.html

Hi Hatoon, Najla and everybody,
Sorry for being so quiet in the last month or so. I have been in a mission
to Tunisia for 2 weeks, and came back to face a huge backlog of work plus
too many tide deadlines. I will come back to you as soon as I can get my
breath back.
Najla, please call or send me your number to arrange for lunch. I will
be going in a sabbatical starting 1/10/05, to the USA.
Stay well.
