My love for computers helped me a lot pursuing a career in the field of IT (Information Technology), and yet being involved in the Art Scene of Cairo (Egypt) which was something that I have been always passionate about – since I work with music, photography and video – on amateur basis.
I’ve always been very passionate about working with kids and young people. And it was only last summer (July 2009) that I got this opportunity to work with kids through a summer-camp around the use of computers and online tools to make art and speak out their minds.
And through my involvement with some global web-communities for young people I worked as a translator and editor for their web-content (English-to-Arabic) to help getting more young people from the Arab world involved in those Online communities.
Sociology … I’d been studying it for a long while now and let me tell you that it was my main reason to fall in love with Anthropology and Psychology! :)
I’m still passionate about helping artists and non-profits, around how to use Online tools to promote their projects and reach out for more audience.
So I’m in the process of developing a related-project to address those needs since that this is something most of the artists and non-profits – working in the Arts field – are missing around here (Egypt and Africa for sure!).
