In the presence of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, a ceremony to honor people of determination was held in New Cairo Sunday.
The ceremony, “Able to Differ”, was also attended by Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli, Social Solidarity Minister Nevine el Qabbaj and Sports Minister Ashraf Sobhy.
During the ceremony, Sisi said positive support of Egyptians for people with special needs has not stopped and never will.
The government, he added, is taking action in this regard, but “we’re still not near real appreciation of such treasure from Allah.”
Positive support from the people will not stop, it will rather increase, the president promised.
“We are moving in the right direction, but not taking strong steps.”
One of the participants in the ceremony, Abdel Rahman, said he had been nominated by the Sports Ministry to attend training courses in the field of mass communication.
He had participated in a similar ceremony last year.
Abdel Rahman could tell that the way society views people of determination has changed for the better. He now has many friends and has taken part in many conferences and forums; Abdel Rahman told the gathering.
He expressed hope that he would become a successful media man and that his first interview would be with President Sisi.
Sisi was quick to respond: “The interview can be held now … we have gained a great man of media … and it is a chance to present him to Egypt and the whole world today.”
