Saturday's Celebration on Child Happiness

Celebrating SCOCH’s birthday, Hagar Fakhry, the SSS LOCH, takes over what Mo’taz and Hakim have started last year by celebrating Child’s Day in the SCOCH way by organising a party for youngsters less than 14 years.
If you’re an SSS member, or even not a member, don’t miss the chance, and of course you’re welcome to invite whoever interested.
All you have to do is to bring your younger brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews, or even neighbours’ daughter to the SSS lounge on Saturday 13th Mar. 09, and we guarantee that they’ll have loads of fun, gain new skills, make friendships, colour, sing, eat, and release their energy to the maximum.
If you’re able to bring any hot dishes with you, that will be more than welcome, especially that we need to feed all these young generation and their relatives.
Don’t miss the fun! All you have to do is to bring your youngster in one hand, and a food dish in the other hand, as Hakim says.
See you next Saturday!

The session took us 2 hours to entertain more than 20 members with a combination of philosophical, historical, and cultural backgrounds of both Individual Rights and Human Rights.
I’ve started the session with a brief introduction to Individual Rights, and then a historical introduction to UDHR, then Zayat clutched the gear to explore deeply within the Declaration articles and controversial aspects, afterwards, and to evaluate the members’ understanding to the session, Zayat finished the day in style, when he initiated the Ship Game, and then Sarah, another member who downloaded some materials for the session, collected an evaluation questionnaire about the UDHR.

World AIDS Celebration!!

Successfully over, the WAC was yet another milestone in the SSS history.. Thanks to Louay and Juju, and of course all the team members who worked so hard on perfecting this day, it was indeed a blast... Noknok introduced the concept of selling known brand food products on our very own Kasr Al Ainy, which was not only a milestone for the SSS, but also for our faculty..

All I could say now is: Great Job! You guys did it..

This is what we were all expecting from our dear SSSians. You all proved that you don't only have the ability to organize perfect conferences, but also the spirit of a true SSSian!

A little about the conference:

نظمت الجمعية العلمية الطلابية بقصر العينى أمس المؤتمر القومى الأول للاحتفال باليوم العالمى للايدز تحت رعاية صندوق الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة الايدز والاتحاد الفدرالى الدولى لطلبة الطب بمصر ومعامل المدينة . حضر المؤتمر لفيف من أساتذة الطب بمصر وطلبة من كل كليات الطب بمصر و ممثلو صندوق الأمم المتحدة لمكافحة الايدز ووزارة الصحة. يهدف المؤتمر إلى نشر الوعى بين طلبة الطب في كل محافظات مصر عن خطورة هذا المرض وكيفية الوقاية منه ومواجهته وأساليب معاملة مريض الإيدز الذى يحتاج رعاية وعناية أكثر من أى مريض آخر. وقد تمت مناقشة أحدث طرق العلاج لهذا المرض و طرق نشر الوعى بين طلبة الجامعات المصرية. وتعد هذه هى المرة الأولى التى يتم فيها تنظيم حدث مثل هذا على مستوى قومى، وقد حاز تنظيم الجمعية الطلابية بقصر العينى على إعجاب جميع الحاضرين. المؤتمر أقيم تحت شعار "طلبة الطب ينشرون الوعى" حيث أن الخوف الدائم من التعامل مع مريض الإيدز هو الذى يدفع المريض للانعزال والابتعاد عن المجتمع الذى يتسبب فى تدهور حالته وهذا لم يكن أبداً الهدف

I have nothing more to say but, this was only the beginning ;)..
