CAIRO | Eighteen Seeds and four friends cleaned dozens of cars as part of the sixth annual car wash on August 28th and 29th to raise funds for Seeds of Peace programming in Egypt.
“Four non-Seeds attended the event, three of whom had applied to go to Seeds of Peace International Camp during the previous years,” said Habeeba, one of the organizers. “We worried that they may feel left out, but they all said that they had an incredible time during the car wash and had enjoyed the Seeds’ company very much.”
“They all even asked to be invited to upcoming Seeds events that include non-Seeds. It has always been a goal to expand our community and start reaching out to our friends and family, and even though four isn’t a big number, it is still a step towards that goal.”
This year, the team raised £E2,600, about 30 percent more than last year, with some people citing the positive energy of the Seeds as a reason to donate more.
