Abdel Rahman is one of "Differently-Abled" stars. We saw him on stage talking about sports and football and answering all questions with confidence.

The president cared very much about him and asked him about his wishes, but Abdel Rahman had another wish other than the membership in the Zamalek Club. The wish was not announced by Abdel Rahman and was not related to him, but it was a wish for his mother in gratitude for the sacrifices and what she did with him. The simple wish was to take a picture with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and this wish he announced in  the "Match" program on Sada El Balad channel.. 

I know that the President will certainly respond to this wish, whether soon or at the next celebration.. the President, with his humanity, impressed us at the "differently- abled" celebration. For the first time during President Sisi’s era, millions of disabled people have all these rights and all this attention, at all humanitarian, legal and economic levels, in addition to spreading awareness of the causes of disability, whether consanguineous marriage, road accidents, etc. This year’s celebration was wonderful as usual.

I was proud of my dear colleague Hani Hathout and his outstanding performance before the president, his media acumen, and his request to host Abdel Rahman in his program on the same day. He was very smooth in his dialogue with him.

I was pleased by President Sisi’s directive during the celebration to support the "differently-abled" Fund with10 billion pounds. It is a very strong evidence of the president’s feeling for his sons and his great keenness to provide a decent life for all Egyptians without distinction or discrimination.

President Sisi ordered the government to provide job opportunities and support disabled people, increase facilities designated to serve them, and issue integrated service cards and cash support, which is the greatest evidence that President Sisi is keen on supporting the disabled people who are experiencing one of the most prosperous periods in terms of attention, care, and true love that comes from the heart and has reached the hearts of these innocent people. 

All thanks to President Sisi, who paid unprecedented attention to the people of special needs. He directed the establishment of the "differently-abled" Fund, and a law regulating it was legislated as one of the most important aspects of the state’s interest in people with special needs, and they have all their rights.

My greetings to all those who participated in this wonderful human epic, of course, the first of whom is President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. 

Egypt will always be kind towards its sons.
