Volunteering in Egypt

Giving time or money to charity is more than a gesture in Egypt, it is part of the religious culture in Egypt.
In a country struggling with a rapidly growing population and a high unemployment rate, many charities have taken on the daunting task of helping the people and animals displaced or abandoned.

Volunteers are always needed. if you have some time to spare and a desire to give of yourself,
find a cause that is dear to your heart and give a hand in this blessed month "Ramadan".

Because simply the life you change might be your own. :)

And Here are 4 notable charities to be consider, I have collected their data base from the internet for who would like to help or become a volunteer in any of them.
