Celebrating 2019 year achievements. Heya Masr Updates! ✨

It is December again, in a couple of weeks we are celebrating the coming of the New Year 2020.  We want to wish you all a wonderful and safe celebration and a blessed coming year. We hope your holidays will be filled with joy and laughter throughout the new year. Happy new year from all of us in Heya Masr! We are here to look back, count the blessings, measure the impact and assess our 2019 effort.  Once again, this year has proven that we are on the right track.  Our effort to make a real change and lasting behavior improvement in the lives of our young Egyptian generation is undeniable. Let me explain one thing first. Many of you know don’t know why we named our organizations “Heya Masr”.  Actually, our organization’s full name is ” Our Hope Heya Masr for the Society Development” Heya Masr translates to “She is Egypt”.  When I started this effort over 6 years ago. I and my team had a core belief that for a society to be fruitful and progressive is for the women to be the focal and the focus of the investment today at a young age.   The young women we work with are the next generations of moms, coworkers and the make of the future.  Studies after studies show that such investment in young women plays an important key in the improvements of any society. Therefore, She is Egypt ” Heya Masr” is a slogan we carry over our heads. Saying, Women. we understand your value in our Egypt. You make the difference, you make things happen, you leave a lasting impact and you make Egypt a better place.  We don’t stop there, we pursue our vision with our motto Love, Educate, and Empower! Here is a quick list of achievements that we should celebrate together:  In 2019 We conducted 10 classes, with a total impact of over 170 children. 135 girls and 40 boys. Each girl or boy received over 30 hours of training centered around Character development, Nutritions’ healthy wellbeing, and Sexual harassment and bullying awareness. New Partnerships in multiple places in Cairo such as Banaty, Childhood rescue center, Association of People of Determination, Our Boys, and others. Redesigned and customized curriculums to fit more communities and widen our impact. Participated in 2019 International Women’s Day and Women 2 Women in partnership with the US embassy and the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sport Our Founder Moody Demetry was honored to part of the Women2Women America 2019 – Listening Panel But, wait, before I share any further.  I am super excited about sharing something that is happening in January 2020. Let me introduce you to Liz Warner, a runner, and passionate woman about women and humans in general. She is Ameican Born and raised in Atlanta, currently based in Paris.   Liz kicked off Run to Reach to inspires and empowers every runner to change the world by connecting locally with the places they run in. As she committed to run 30 marathons before turning 30, and in each country Liz runs, she is supporting an organization that makes an impact on women.

I quickly put this video together to give you a snapshot of the work we have done in 2019. So many lives we touched and changed. This is a powerful calling I am taking with my year to year. About 6 years ago, when we first started Heya Masr. I was inspired to make this video to send a strong message. The message is clear, that we cast our judgment on people within the first 3 seconds we lay our eyes on them. Even if we don’t know them personally. But usually, have the wrong impressions.   In our middle eastern society, we label people with awful naming even when we don’t speak it, but we surely think it. In our Heya Masr program, we train girls and boys on developing their characters, to develop a mental strength to overcome the negativity that others can cast on them.  This achieved by training them to increase their self-awareness and find the qualities within them, and work on strengthening it. As a result, they enhance their decisions making and excel in life because they learned to have a choice on life vs accept life passively. In addition, we take their news skills and put them into practice.  Getting taught on healthy eating habits and give them the tools to stand firm against the rising numbers of bullying and sexual harassment. The comprehensive program has been running for over 6 years and has been making a significant impact in all our classes and in every community. As a young girl or a boy, gain and grows in confidence as she or he realizes the power of their decisions making on their lives. Support Heya Masr. Gift to Educate a Boy Today!
