Civic Enterprises and the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC) both recently expanded their teams with the addition of a nonprofit leader from Cairo, Egypt, through the 12-month Atlas Corps professional fellowship. These Fellows arrived in America shortly after the Egyptian Revolution, which began January 25, 2011 and lasted 18 days. The citizen-driven revolution, which was mostly peaceful and organized largely through social media, resulted in the resignation of the country's president, Hosni Mubarak, and paved the way for democratic leadership in Egypt.
On April 21, 2011, NCoC, Atlas Corps, and Civic Enterprises hosted a panel discussion where 3 Egyptian Fellows shared and reflected on their experiences during the Revolution. They will also related their experiences to what they hope to learn during their time in the U.S.
I'm proud of you M.T Kosba !
