The Breakers Diving and Surfing Lodge opens in Soma Bay on 25 February 2010. This exciting new water sports lifestyle hotel is a first for the luxurious resort destination of Soma Bay and is designed to appeal to divers, windsurfers and kite surfers seeking reasonably priced accommodation in one of the Red Sea’s finest water sport locations.
The Breakers offers quality and affordable lodging in 173 comfortable guest rooms equipped with all modern amenities. The hotel is situated directly opposite the magnificent Soma Bay house reef and adjacent to the well-equipped Dive Centre managed by Orca Dive Clubs. Most of the guest rooms have extraordinary views of the house reef, lagoon, the panoramic jetty and the open sea. Perfectly situated, guests only need take a few steps from the room to the water’s edge.
This exciting new development is the first in Soma Bay to offer a total ‘lifestyle’ concept directed at the specific needs of water sports users. A waterfront restaurant and bar, scenic roof garden, beachside BBQs and outdoor events, panoramic sauna, and heated swimming pool offer many opportunities for relaxation after a day spent on or under the water. Guests staying at The Breakers can also access Soma Bay’s award-winning range of top class leisure facilities including Championship golf at The Cascades, and Leading Spa of the World, Les Thermes Marins des Cascades.
Kite surfer, diver and all-round water man Stefan Reichl is the General Manager of The Breakers Diving and Surfing Lodge, Soma Bay, and he is excited to be bringing his many years of experience in the hospitality and gastronomy business to Soma Bay.
“It is a great pleasure for me to be back in the Red Sea where I previously spent two fantastic years as the Director of the Robinson Club Soma Bay,” says Stefan Reichl. “The Breakers is really going to help put Soma Bay on the map for water sports. Here we have some of the best conditions for windsurfing, diving and kite surfing in the world. The opening of The Breakers means that Soma Bay’s many unique attributes will be more accessible than ever before.”

800 clinics for underprivileged children
HEPCA is working together with the Vodafone Foundation to establish 800 health clinics in 12 governorates across Egypt. This project is part of our ongoing commitment to support community development work and builds on our successful partnership with Vodafone that resulted in the award-winning Madrasty Intiative.
The clinics will be established at 800 public schools throughout the 12 governorates of Red Sea, Luxor, Aswan, Damietta, Asuit, Sohag, Beni Swaif, El Minyah, N Sinai, Suez, New Valley and Matrouh. Only the most deprived primary schools will be selected in order to offer maximum benefit for their underprivileged communities.
The program will involve a large component of capacity building for the schools and will make a positive difference to the lives of many thousands of people. The clinics will support the education and learning of health and hygiene issues for students and teachers. Teachers in particular will receive continuous training in basic medical first aid, CPR, and will gain a better understanding of medical and health issues affecting the community at large. Primary age schoolchildren will receive ongoing health care, and fun and informative educational sessions aimed to increase understanding and awareness of everyday social concerns.
Children are the lifeblood and future of our society. Many thousands of children in Egypt are receiving little or no education, often in school buildings that have no proper facilities for learning, playing or even washing. This initiative hits right at the heart of Egypt’s education system, and stems from a belief that quality education must work hand in hand with a quality environment.
Arts and Crafts - Reuse those brown paper grocery bags
1) Make a beautiful card from a brown paper bag and some ribbon.
Supplies needed:
* Brown paper (from a grocery bag) or construction paper
* Pinking shears or Scissors
* A hole punch
* Ribbon (about 1/4 inch wide) or thick yarn
* Markers or crayons 
Cut a card from brown paper using pinking shears. Any shape will do.
Using a hole punch, make a series of holes around the edges of the card. Make an even number of holes.
String ribbon or yarn through the holes.
Tie the ends in a bow (this is the hardest part of this project). If the bow doesn't look good, you can glue the ends of the ribbon to the back of the card instead.
Write a message (or draw a picture) on your lovely card.
