Hi Connor,

So lovely to meet you! It's always great to connect with someone who has a similar background — your work in Palestine and Jordan sounds fascinating, and I’d really love to hear more about it. While I know the Levantine context fairly well, my focus over the past few years has been more on Egypt, where I worked on an EU-funded project supporting women’s empowerment.

Also, I’m really sorry to hear about the USAID funding cuts — that must be incredibly frustrating, especially when such important work is at stake.

Looking forward to chatting more and exchanging ideas!

Laura
