Dr. Hossam Badrawi celebrated Sinai Liberation Day at the Youth Schools Complex in Benha, Qalyubia Governorate, as he does every year. This is the school he has been supporting for the past seven years.
The invitation came from Mr. Mostafa Farag, the school’s CEO. The institution is a non-profit organization and stands as a remarkable example of the efficiency of the non-profit private sector and the strength of Egyptian civil society.
Among the distinguished attendees were former Foreign Minister Mohamed El-Orabi, Qalyubia Governor Eng. Ayman Atiya, Dr. Nasser El-Gizawy, President of Benha University, and Major General Hossam Atwa, representing the Armed Forces in the governorate.
The school students and their families warmly welcomed Dr. Hossam, surrounding him with joy to take commemorative photos, radiating happiness and excitement.
Dr. Hossam always says that his experience with the Youth School and their implementation of the Egypt Vision 2030 in education makes it one of the schools he is proud of, and he constantly praises the achievements of its management.

At the Youth Schools Complex celebration in Benha on Sinai Liberation Day
My dear children,
Esteemed parents,
Dear colleagues—teachers and staff,
On this special day as we celebrate the anniversary of Sinai’s liberation, I come to you filled with pride, overflowing with hope, and delighted by what I’ve seen of your talents, your enthusiasm, and your love for your country.
You have thrilled me… warmed my heart… and made me proud—not only of you, but of Egypt’s future, which I saw in your eyes, heard in your voices, and touched in your remarkable performances.
Sinai Liberation Day is not just a date we commemorate—it is a lesson in sacrifice, heroism, and the determination to reclaim land and dignity. And today, as you celebrate, you are writing a new chapter in that history… a chapter filled with love and belonging, with work and hope.
My children,
You are the light of tomorrow, the seeds of the future, and the hope of the nation. Dream big, strive forward, and keep learning… because Egypt deserves the best from you, and you are worthy of that responsibility.
And to your parents and teachers, I say:
Thank you—for nurturing this generation, for instilling in them values and knowledge, and for giving them what they need to build a strong, just, and beautiful homeland.
May you all be well every year…
May Sinai remain in our hearts every year…
And may Egypt always enjoy safety and peace.
