This is a young Egyptian woman, apparently out for a run, who stopped to help a boy who was struggling with reading. The woman obviously helped the boy learn to read, but there is much more happening in this image.

This boy is learning that life is not all threat and fear, as television and authorities would have him believe. Life is also kindness and decency, even from strangers.

The boy is also learning that women are kind, helpful and warm. And you can bet that such ideas will make him a better husband and father some day.
