Hey guys,

I work in an NGO called Hope Village that takes care of street children, orphans and children from underprivileged families.
It would be my pleasure to organise a big project where you guys could visit the shelters and give the stuff to the children yourself. If somebody wants to volunteer (individually), any sort of support is greatly appreciated. Just contact me via PM.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, either in this forum or privately.

Cheers,

Amira

Hi Amira,

Thanks so much for your great idea, of course we would like to join you soon and visit this shelter.

If am not wrong I guess its located in nasr city end of Abbas el Akkad street!

Thanks again for your support.

Hey Mohamed,

There are several shelters in Cairo, but our headquarters are in Nasr City, very close to Abbas. That's absolutely right. We can organise visits at any time and we can also work out an individual plan how you can support the organisation and its activities.
Are you going to that expat meeting tonight? If so, we can discuss details (This goes to everyone of course! ;) )

Cheers

Amira

Am really planning to make some thing private as a volunteering project and a friend is helping me in this isue! I will PM you with my friends name

Meanwhile hope you enjoy todays meeting :)

Good luck Amira

MiaSayed

Alrighty, thanks!

My main purpose for tonight is not my job either. To be honest, I'm just really looking forward to a fun night with cool people.

Will be waiting for your PM.
Cheers

Great idea! :D I'm away for a few weeks but will chat to you Amira when I get back ;) It'd be great to organise a group to help the kids & families out. Good work!

Hi guys,

I also like the idea of having a group of people that supports us. We can still work out what this support would look like.

Thanks a lot for your effort, Moe!

I'm in for anything! What if we just fix a date to meet now, so it's less talking and more action. ;-)

I suggest Sat Oct 22 or Sun Oct 23 around 7 pm, so we can arrange something before November.

Let me know :-)

Plus who ever wanna join us just post here then am gonna pm the details

Thanks all for ur concern

MiaSayed

Dear All,

Thanks to those who showed up yesterday, especially to you ya Islam! It was a pleasure meeting you and I'm sure we can do good work together.

Now that everybody knows about Hope Village Society, I suggest that we meet soon to brainstorm what everyone could do.

I have a few new projects at the moment where Egyptians as well as foreigners could work. I remember we talked about this, Sousou, because it's difficult to communicate with the kids when you speak no Arabic at all (although we have a lovely Japanese volunteer and the kids LOVE her). However, I'm sure we can find something to do for everyone who wants to contribute to Hope Village's work.

Really glad to know that there are people like you who want to make a change.

Cheers,

Amira

Hey,

I don't have a list of orphanages etc. but I work in a non-profit, non-governmental organisation. So if you would like to know more about us, you could maybe attend the next meeting. It would be a pleasure to tell you more about our work.

Cheers

MiaSayed

Good morning guys,

How about a second meeting which hopefully everyone interested will be able to attend? This time I'd bring a pen and a paper, so we can really do and decide stuff.

I suggest either Friday or Saturday, as this is everyone's day off. Maybe not too late. Any ideas?

Let me know.
Cheers

Amira

would like to have more info about hope village address and how we can donate
tks in advance

Hello
This is a really great idea. I think it is time we do some good..
Everyone is so busy with their lives and their problems and we always forget about the people who are in need. And now, under the circumstances the country needs all the help we can give...
I'm totally on board with you guys..I will try to find if there is any charity events coming up soon...
I've never really been interested in charity, I actually want to go out and do something good but it is the same old story..you have exams,you've visiting your family etc..
Actually right now I'm writing quickly because I have an exam in a few hours but this time I really wanna make a change and it would be really nice to do it with people from different places with different cultures, It would be really great..
Hadeer..
