    Great video, Esra’a! Wow it is so good to be back at MEY after a long and tedious period of grad exams. I really love the changes. I’m so amazed at how fast this place is growing and improving.

    Thank you Esra’a for this wonderful Video. In the woman’s day, what I grasp the veils of the mothers in this Middle East and beg them what i want. I guess mothers are the only sources and individuals who would care for our demands, with all what they are going though for the deeds of theri children i beg them to use their devine influence in brining up kids who would not choose violence to convey their messages, to reach their goals. They can do it, women of our region can do that, they have the power, they have a power much greater than the politicians if they make use of it. The world wants to help women in Women’s day, I seek the help of the Women, they are the people who make the change possible.
