FUE Gives Back During the Third International Fair for Community Service

FUE offers free medical and dentistry services to the people of Borollos City, Kafr Sheikh

Cairo, Egypt, October 20th, 2016: Earlier this month, as part of their ongoing endeavor to support Egypt’s local communities, Future University Egypt (FUE) joined other universities and companies to sponsor the Third International Borollos Fair. As part of their contribution to the event which took place from the 1st to the 15th of October, FUE’s community service team sent 13 members of the university to support in beautifying the city of Borollos, located in Kafr Sheikh.

The Borollos Fair which is held each year focuses on creating hope and brightening the local area through the creation of art work on walls within the city. During the fair, FUE also provided an oral medicine and dental caravan offering free dental care to the families of Borollos City. The caravan also distributed free toothbrushes and toothpaste as part of an awareness campaign on the importance of brushing teeth.

Talking about their participation in the international event, Ms. Manal Khalil, Student Life Director, said “Community service is a big part of FUE’ commitment to the Egyptian community. One of the core values that we hope that all of our students leave the university with is the importance of giving back to those less fortunate than us. We are proud to be able to be part of an initiative that advocates for children to express their artistic talents as well as providing hope and creating community spirit.”

As part of their contribution to the event FUE’s arts and cultural sections supported children in drawing activities and took part in the music show. Students from the social services section also distributed free blankets in preparation for the winter in addition to clothes, toys and school bags for the children living in Borollos village. Additionally, the university’s sports department also arranged for sporting activities including football, volleyball and a bicycle race, which citizens of Borollos were able to take part in. 

Each year the Borollos Fair brings together international artists from around the world not only to create beauty within the city but also inspire children from the local area. The fair also hosted a symposium of general boats for the second year running, in addition to offering a variety of activities for children through collaboration between Egyptian and international artists, who also promoted the importance of creating a clean and environmentally friendly community for the citizens of Borollos. During the event the children of Borollos had a chance to learn about a diverse range of cultures and artistic movements through a mix of artists who came from Saudi Arabia, Macedonia, Tunisia, Singhal, North Korea, Jordan, Serbia, Sudan, Portugal and India.
