Hello everyone,

This is Mohamed Elewa. from Cairo, Egypt and I’m here to Organize “Hack 4 Environment” Hackathon in Egypt.

I have +5 years’ experience in Business Development and Digital Projects Management. I’m working now in Education Technology and Education Solution Company.

I’m passionate about creating projects, Research & Development, Technology and positively impacting to society.

I also worked as a volunteer in a couple of very important NGOs and student organizations in Egypt.

Also, I found 2 initiatives the first one was a supporting child with cancer with psychotherapy in " the National Cancer Institute” in Cairo. And the second one was providing “Community School’ to one of the poorest areas in Cairo “Masr El Adema”.

All beside different projects to Empower youth through career counseling, free training courses and helping them finding their dream job. Empower entrepreneurs to start their business by providing the required business development tools.

I also studied “Social Entrepreneurship” at University of Connecticut at USA at 2014, at SUSI Student Leaders Programs funded by US. Department of State.

My Motivations and Goals are all about ecosystem building and developing resources for entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders.

This is why I’m organizing “Hack 4 Environment” Hackathon in Egypt.oad, drag or paste images.

ping @hana_elsafoury_4 :). This is about Hackathon in Cairo. @elewa94, I think the two of you should talk about how you could collaborate. @hana_elsafoury_4 is reaching out on behalf of Nature Conservation Egypt (NCE) (http://www.natureegypt.org) to discuss your upcoming event in Cairo :slight_smile:
