This occasion comes to confirm the importance of celebrating people with disabilities, spreading awareness of their rights, and the importance of integrating them, renouncing violence and bullying, and empowering them in the society to be a brick in the edifice of the new republic according to Egypt’s Vision 2030.
This also comes within the framework of the state’s development of a human-building strategy whose top priorities are the progress and prosperity of our beloved Egypt.
A group of pilot officers, school and university students participated with people with disabilities in the celebration activities in terms of reception and organization, workshops, handicrafts, sports shows, and artistic and show performances.
