It is not a matter of cleaning roads. It is a matter of cleaning our country.

Do not say I am a Christian or I am a Muslim. Say I am Egyptian. Let us complete the task.
Even parallelized people feel that they can share. They can do it.
Children, youth, old people – all of us want to do something.

I love these pictures. They remind me of the days when i was back in Egypt. Thanks Dr. Usama. Great effort.
I love these pictures. They remind me of the days when i was back in Egypt. I remember right after the mess, the streets were destroyed and full of garbage. What these young people did was really important and a sign of a new start. I met Dr. Farouk Elbaz yesterday in Boston University. He talked about them and hoped that they can spread over the country and do the same everywhere.
Thanks Dr. Usama. Great effort
