The "clean souls" of Egypt - A Letter from an Ashoka and Egyptian Leader This letter is written by Dr. Iman Bibars, who is an Ashoka Vice President and the Egypt based, Regional Director of Ashoka Arab World. Ashoka is a global fellowship of over 2600 of the world's leading social entrepreneurs, many of whom are working in Arab Nations. These men and women are addressing some of the world's toughest problems often in extraordinary situations, including Egypt. They are chosen by Ashoka because of their ingenuity and their desire for system wide change. I received this note because I am part of this Ashoka fellowship. Dr. Bibars has committed her life to work with marginalized and voiceless groups, such as female heads of households in the poorest slums of Egypt, street children, street vendors and garbage collectors. Her letter speaks to the irrepressible nature of good even when confronted by overwhelming repression. It is a emotional first person account from inside the cauldron that is now Egypt. Feel free to send her a message of support.
