Over the past two days, social media sites in Egypt have been buzzing with pictures and news regarding a remarkable decision made by students of the Class of 2024 at the Faculty of Engineering at Aswan University.

In a good gesture, the students of the Faculty of Engineering at Aswan University, class of 2024, decided to transfer the money they collected to hold the graduation ceremony, to donate it to renovate the college mosque, raise its efficiency, and cancel the ceremony.

The final year students at the Aswan College of Engineering confirmed their belief in the value of community participation, which prompted them to give up the graduation ceremony that they had dreamed of for five years of study for the sake of a greater and loftier goal.

The students presented the idea to the college’s family boards, and the idea was escalated to the college’s student union and the college’s dean, Dr. Muhammad Mahmoud, which was approved and supported by everyone.

In order to save expenses and out of their desire for reward, the students worked on developing the mosque themselves. They carried out restoration work, renewal of electricity, painting, plumbing, and installation of floor carpets. All of this was done with their hands and forearms without the use of any labor.

The students of “Aswan Engineering” were keen to document this process, as they photographed the mosque before and after the development work. They also photographed the processes of pasting carpets, painting works, and other matters, until arriving at the beautiful final image of the mosque after the development.
