Hands clasped together form the keystone of a bridge made of patterns from Egypt’s rich cultural heritage. Pharaonic motifs merge with Islamic, Coptic, Bedouin and Berber designs. Further organic patterns represent growth. Strength is emphasized through the rich colours. Hands of all ages are reading and writing. Access to education will empower all to step out on the road ahead.

"Give thy heart to learning, and love her like a mother, for there is nothing so precious as learning."

From a papyrus found in the ruins of a school in the Ramesseum, written by a High Priest who called himself the Chief of the Royal Stable of Instruction.
