reconnected with an Embassy-sponsored American theater 
director, from a children's literature speaker who 
influenced local publishers to work more with the 
Embassy, and from increased cooperation with the 
Egyptian Council of Universities.  Summary reports

Efat Yehia, reconnected with an American director 
brought to Egypt in 2004 by the Embassy to direct a 
Mission-sponsored, Arabic language production of 
Thorton Wilder's "Our Town."  During their reunion, 
the two planned for further Egypt-American theater 
exchanges, and Yehia was asked to direct an American 
play in Chicago.

As a result of a meeting with Embassy's educational 
advising contractors, the new Secretary General of the 
Supreme Council of Universities promised to play an 
active role in promoting two-year "PLUS" scholarships 
to an American university, and he said that he would 
personally contact the deans of the relevant faculties 
at all Egyptian public universities to ask them to 
nominate candidates.  He agreed to begin informing 
students about the "PLUS" program during this academic 
year, so that they can prepare well in advance of the 
October application deadline.

(03/18/05  03/26/05)  EMBASSY-SPONSORED SPEAKER 
ENLIVENS ARABIC BOOK PUBLISHING CONTACTS BY 
HIGHLIGHTING IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE 
 
During a week-long Embassy-sponsored speaking tour, 
The New York Times' Children's Book Editor, Eden Ross 
Lipson, addressed Egypt's most important children's 
book publishers, writers, illustrators, critics, 
reviewers, and librarians at several events in both 
Cairo and Alexandria.  Lipson spoke about the history 
of children's literature in the United States and 
about modern trends in children's book publishing. 
Her appearance in a thirty-minute primetime live 
broadcast on Egypt's national Channel 2 reached an 
estimated 2 million viewers.  Other media coverage 
included additional TV, radio and print.  Stirred by 
Lipson's enthusiasm and the lively discussions at 
these events, several local publishers have re-engaged 
with the Embassy's Regional Arabic Book Office (RBO) 
and proposed to collaborate on the publication of 
Arabic-translations of American youth literature.

(03/09/05) EMBASSY REKINDLES CONTACT WITH EXCHANGE 
ALUMNI 
 
In the first of what will be a series of salon-like 
gatherings, the Embassy hosted a small-group gathering 
of exchange alumni and Mission personnel for a 
discussion on U.S. economic policy and the economic 
situation in Egypt.  Exchange alumni in the field of 
economics and finance were invited to meet and interact 
with officers and locally employed staff involved in 
economic work.  A lively discussion and new contacts 
resulted.  Future gatherings will focus on a variety of 
topics, but will continue to emphasize bringing 
exchange alumni back in touch with Embassy personnel 
and activities.

the Cairo and Alexandria Book Fairs.  Attendees, who

of Egyptian composer Sayed Darwish.  In introducing 
the event, the Alexandria PAO praised the richness of 
Egyptian musical culture and drew parallels between 
the life of Sayed Darwish and that of American 
composer George Gershwin, both of whom were concerned 
with developing a national vocabulary in song and 
dance.  The program was prominently featured on local 
television news programs and broadcast in its entirety 
on Alexandria's Channel 5-TV.
