I'm starting a book about experiences in Egypt. The goal of the book is to highlight the humanity and beauty of the country for positive PR to aid the rebuilding of tourism in the country. Egypt holds a special place in my heart and I want to utilize my experiences and the experiences of others to create a powerful tool that will make a difference. My goal is simple, create a book containing short stories about Egypt to help encourage people to visit Egypt. The stories should come from Egyptians or foreigners, just as long as they have once lived in Egypt.
Please help me collect short stories about Egypt from people who are looking to have their story published. I want to include these authors in the publication process.
About Me:
I am a pragmatic visionary. Looking to redesign my stars of fate from the ones laid out at birth. I have overcome obstacles for educational success, lived in Egypt and South Korea while also traveling through China and Japan. Now I have finished a Master's degree in International Developmental Administration and am searching for a career in international development.
My view of life is that globalization has united us all to where we should now all focus on attaining sustainable world development. In time I plan to be cultivated enough professionaly for macro level impacts as well as micro since at the same time, globalization has wrecked havoc on cultures, people, and the environment.
Recently I implemented an income generation development project in Chimente, Guatemala for a Mayan women's co-operative. I acted as the Marketing and Finance manager for the project that included the running of a crowd-funding campaign.
My long-term plans are to become a philanthropist, helping to promote virtuous-cycles of improvement on this planet.
