(Courtesy to those hundreds of people who made
Educate-Me happen)
2 years ago, a couple of
young Egyptians had a dream: to establish an independent legal framework under
which they can serve their country, and a Community Development Center in the
underprivileged area where Educate-Me serves. It seemed a little too
farfetched, yet a year later, the first dream came true, and today, the second
did!
Looking back at how this happened
so fast, I could only find one secret ingredient: people, and the power of
people!
People who were so
invested in the cause to the extent that it never had to surrender to the
status quo; never ran out of resources, or most importantly, out of energy.
People who believed they can, and should change their world, and that of
others. People who started with what they had, and didn’t bother about what
they didn’t, who never waited for Governmental Policies or bureaucratic approvals to
go on and do what they dreamed of. Those who started with themselves, and those
around them.
If you are one of those
people who says that Educate-Me grew so much so fast right in front of your own
eyes then give yourself a pat on the back, coz people like you are those who
made it happen: those who were generous with their time, money or simple
motivational words, coz believe it or not: that’s the fuel that feeds our souls
throughout our journey.
And that’s not all. Having
achieved that has only encouraged us to aim for more, and we have taken an oath
within ourselves to work towards a much bigger dream; a dream of changing the
World through an Education that empowers dreams and takes on the responsibility
of making them happen. A dream that is much bigger than any of us, but not too
big for all of us. A dream we hope to share with anyone who believes in it. A
dream that makes our days worth living.
“It is our deepest belief that humanity has at least one
desire in common regardless of ethnicity, gender, age or background - the
desire to be happy” ~ Mohamed Ramadan, Director of Innovations, Educate-Me
