Jeff Walls, Gabr Fellow. June 6th 2013

“The fellowship has been rich in striking moments so far, moments that have cast the dynamics and challenges of east-west dialog in sharp relief. Some of the most indelible to me include the debate between several of the Egyptian fellows and our tour guide on the bus after the Egyptian museum, the frank and unflinching appraisal of Egypt's potential near term future given by Dr. Ghoneim on Tuesday morning, and Bahia Shehab, the professor and activist who spoke of her street level activism during our visit to AUC's campus yesterday. Together these are painting a picture of a country full of passion ad commitment to enacting a lasting, inclusive change, and the tribulations and difficulties that accompany that quest for change.”
