I recently had the pleasure of meeting with regional coordinator Mr. Ezzat Hassan, a long-standing member and friend of Life-Link Friendship Schools, as well as students and teachers from three different member schools in Cairo. We shared interesting discussions about Life-Link as an organization, how sustainable development can be approached from a small-scale perspective, and how best Life-Link’s ethos can be integrated into a learning environment. An excellent opportunity for cultural exchange as well, discussions were held about language, different approaches to sustainability and the value of multicultural experiences.
Mr. Ezzat Hassan was also kind enough to show me around Cairo, allowing me to experience both culture/history as well as daily life in Egypt.
It has been an immense pleasure to meet these enthusiastic students and teachers, and I thank them dearly for their warmth and hospitality. A special thank you to Mr. Ezzat Hassan for making my time in Cairo so memorable, and for his continued cooperation with Life-Link.
