To help people in need “not because they need us but because we need them to revive our humanitarian feelings”: this is the guiding principle of Resala, a tremendous charity organization with more than 60 branches across Egypt and over 200,000 volunteers. Along with providing aid and training for the deaf, blind, impoverished and underprivileged , the group focuses on the welfare of children, whether on the streets, orphaned, or otherwise vulnerable. For Eid al-Adha, it distributes clothes and toys for poor children in Cairo and Alexandria, where it also runs regular blood drives to provide for children with anemia.
It also supports education through school-building campaigns. In September, the group mustered convoys of school supplies to Ayat Village, which succeeded in distributing 300 schools bags to as many students. A concert for children was held in conjunction with the convoys, to celebrate the start of the new school year.
