What Comes Around

Rod El Farag is one of the poorest residential areas in Cairo, a place where even basic staples like bread are beyond the reach of some inhabitants. But community spirit has led to a practice called "al Gami’ya," wherein people contribute a little money into a pot and a decision is made each week to give it to the neediest community member. Reem Saleh spent six years following one such community, and her intimate, scrupulously detailed portrait of solidarity provides entry into an unknown world.
