1st February 2011
Early this morning I received a message from our Executive Committee member Ghassan Sayah:
"This message is to report that YMCA Egypt,staff,volunteers and members are all safe,but under great stress of the incidents taking place in their country for the last few days,I have been in daily contact with Samy ref the safety and weell being of our brothers and sisters of YMCA Egypt.We in the middle east are in need for all the praying for this part of the world continues to be the troubled place of the world.
Ghassan Sayah"
I was in telephone contact with the General Secretary in YMCA Egypt, Samy Armia Nashed, a few minutes ago, and Samy told me that all 24 YMCAs in Egypt are in good shape and all staff and volunteers are safe. Some YMCAs are closed and some are open a few hours a day.
I told Samy that I will share this message with the world family and ask all of us to keep our friends in Egypt and in the Middle East in our thoughts and prayers.
Warm regards

Secretary General, World Alliance of YMCAs
