Cairo Univ. Students Launch “Dopamine” Campaign

For the 1st time, Cairo University’s faculty of information 4th year students have launched “Dopamine” campaign to spread the culture of happiness among the society’s segments, under the supervision of a number of faculty professors.

It is a social campaign aiming at introducing joy and happiness into the hearts of needy and middle-class Egyptians, in line with the state’s directives and youth’s interests.

“Dopamine” is the scientific name for happiness hormones in the human body, according to Dr. Hayat Badr, the campaign supervisor.

Badr added that the students carried out lately a number of activities that have achieved the campaign goals, including organizing encounters with the target segments, sitting with them, listening to their problems and trying to solve them.

Moreover, the campaign students visited a special needs school, where they engaged with the children in many recreational activities, such as "playing, drawing, and painting".

The students aim to prove that happiness does not need huge sums, yet low-cost simple activities could leave a good impact.
