D95 Chairman 1st Visit to IWCs Ismailia and Port Said

On October 14, 2017, District 95 Egypt and Jordan’s Chairman Mrs. Samia Hatata along with other Board members and IW club members from Egypt went on a field trip to Ismailia City in the north-eastern part of Egypt. 

Upon arrival, Mrs. Samia and all accompanying IW club members headed to the Ismailia Teaching Oncology Hospital, one of IW Ismailia Club’s projects. There, they were met and greeted by the director of the Hospital , Dr. Mohamed El Mekhaily who in his turn spoke highly of IW Ismailia Club’s role in supporting the cancer hospital and the community respectively.

Afterwards, Mrs. Hatata held a meeting with president Afaf Latif of IW Ismailia Club and Mrs Randa Ramadan of IW Port Said Club in which they discussed the clubs’ projects and services then exchanged gifts.

On the following day of the Ismailia trip, Mrs. Hatata and the accompanying delegates met with Admiral Mohab Mamish, Chairman of both the Suez Canal Authority and the Suez Canal Economic Zone. After the meeting, all accompanying IW club members enjoyed a boat cruise along the Suez Canal; a worldwide famous waterway that connects the Mediterranean and Red Seas, resulting in great financial returns to Egypt.

Evidently, the Ismailia trip was a very successful trip in all aspects. It shed the light on the projects and goals of both the IW Ismailia club and the IW Port Said Club, along with strengthening the friendship and relationships among Inner Wheel members.
