I suggest that Sundays might be a good day, at least for me. Don't know if this helps others? I cannot access IRC while I am at work, which means I'm only available M-F, 00:00 to 07:00 UTC. However, I am usually available on Sundays, pretty much anytime. In Egypt, don't you observe the weekend on Friday-Saturday? so don't know if Sunday would be acceptable or good for you? Or rotating times/days also works, so maybe I can make some of the sessions.
Of course, don't know how necessary my participation is at this point. I would like to help with scholarships (help find funding), and other ways I can help. Just to let you know, I may be in Cairo for the summer (June - August), to take part in the summer language program. I know Cairo isn't that close to Alexandria, but it might makes it easier for me to help.
