CAIRO | Twenty Egyptian Seeds got their hands soapy for this year’s 7th Annual Seeds of Peace Carwash Fundraiser on August 19 and 20.
For two days, the Seeds washed over 80 cars in the parking lot of a sports club.
“It’s kind of an invitation to join the Egyptian Seeds Community, said Egyptian Seed Habeeba who helped organize the fundraiser.
“Instead of going out and talking, we get together and do the carwash. It’s a chance to bond with each other, contribute to the community and a nice way for new Seeds to integrate without any awkwardness.”
The Seeds’ good spirits and efforts succeeded as they raised E£ 2,350 ($250), double the amount of money than in previous years. A small portion of the funds will go to charity, and the rest to support Seeds of Peace programs in Egypt.
“This year there were a lot more signs and they were more colorful which grabbed the interest of people; many ended up donating more than the fee charged,” said Hashem.
