\
ReBuild Egypt For the past 30 years, Egyptians were living a dark stage, we were living without having any vision for the future, directed by a small entity of people who have all the power and directing the whole country towards their own favour and personal interests. The fear was pulling the people down from taking action, people lost the belief in themselves, We weren’t seeing the power they have, they lost self confidence and passion for better future. have. We aren’t weak, we are very strong, we have the sound of justice, all the Egyptians stand one day against the old regime we all of his powers and we decided that we are going to have our rights despite any fears or losses. We used to protect our houses with our own hands, staying in the streets for nights and days, rotating shifts to protect our families and homes. Nobody counted on these disparate groups including Muslims and Christians coming together in the streets. Nobody calculated the emotional impact on the Egyptian people when it became clear that the republic of fears and lies was no longer almighty. So we are in AIESEC Egypt having one of the best developed youth in the country, wants to take part of development of our country after the revolution, expanding more with our products, helping different sectors targeting various issues.
