I notice you’re from Algeria.

I've found that a lot of people here in the U.S. don't know much their own country,

much less anyone else's. 

I post prayer updates about different countries. Part of the reason is to raise awareness

about what's going on in the rest of the world.

Recently I’ve started a personal initiative; if I notice someone on DA is from another

country, if I've done their country I let them know. It’s my way of letting them know

that others are thinking about their home.

This one is about your home!
