Amanda, the Muhtar

Our sitesi or housing development is totally enclosed by a pretty white picket fence and is very safe, so Amanda has the run of the place.  She likes to go and visit the neighbors and everyone seems to know her.  Yesterday she came and showed me a necklace that someone had given her.  I learned that one of the families had just arrived from Germany within the hour and Amanda had already befriended them.  They have 3 older sons and a daughter her age.   Nev likened her to the muhtar of our sitesi.   The muhtar is the head civil servant of the town.  When we bought our house three years ago, Raif Abi took Nev to meet the muhtar within the first week of our arrival.
