The Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau was honored to participate in Egyptian Day in New York on September 6, organized by the Happiness Organization. This year’s celebration took over an entire street in one of the city’s most vibrant locations in Manhattan, transforming it into a lively Egyptian promenade. We extend special appreciation to the NYPD for their outstanding coordination and support in ensuring everything runs smoothly. Our pavilion offered a rich window into Egypt’s heritage and creativity, featuring: A display of Egyptian artifacts highlighting our history An Egyptian dress photo booth A photo gallery of Egyptian celebrities in the U.S. Hieroglyphic name writing and kids’ activities The wider event hosted 100+ Egyptian vendors and entrepreneurs showcasing crafts, food, art, and innovative projects. The program included the Egyptian national anthem and beautiful selections from Omar Khairat, performed by the remarkable violinist Daisy. The remarks of H.E. Tamer El-Meligy, Consul General in New York, and H.E. Osama Abdel Khalek, Egypt’s Permanent Representative to the UN, were powerful and inspiring. Our heartfelt thanks to the Happiness Organization, my friend Yasser Noureldin, and the entire board for the kind invitation. Deep appreciation to Mr. Mohamed Saleh, our valued partner, for his unwavering support of the Bureau’s activities. Special thanks to our friends who traveled from Washington, D.C. to support us, and to my colleagues at the Bureau for their extraordinary effort and many sleepless hours to present the office at its best. https://lnkd.in/dhuCma9D https://lnkd.in/dXgSAu8k
