Dr Kadoura enjoys meeting with her family and close friends on a regular basis. She believes that reading develops knowledge beyond the limits of time and space, so it is a core element in her routine as she spends 4-8 hours a day reading. She encourages the use of technology but not to the extent that it controls people’s life. She acknowledges the beautiful scenery, including the trees and the sea as she gets a sense of peace and happiness from them. The world is her home and all the good people, regardless of differences, are her big family.
