I have started my activities in the social field through being a member of <a href="http://projects.takingitglobal.org/YES-Egypt">YES Network Egypt</a> in July 2002 and I had the chance to work on organizing <a href="http://www.yesweb.org">Youth Employment Summit 2002</a> with the <a href="http://www.edc.org">EDC Stuff</a> that was held in Alexandria from 7th to 11th September 2002 and it was really a great experience.
