Egyptian Revolution of Two-Eleven Two-Eleven

2011-02-15T12:59:00.003-06:00

As we watch the Egyptian Revolution from abroad, we applaud the people in Cairo for demanding democracy and freedom for the Egyptian people. The participation of the youth and the general public in this rebellion is a refreshing signal that the events in Egypt are just the beginning of a revolution that has the power and intention to ultimately bring happiness to the public at large for many years to come. As the shining light for art, culture, history and wisdom in the middle east, Egypt possesses the position to inspire a new era of freedom, equality and peace in the entire region. When people peacefully unite to act on their hopes and dreams, great things can happen. Our hearts and minds are with you.
