  At the intersection of art and social responsibility, Art With A Heart will unite a community of artists from September 20–22 in support of a cause that puts creativity at the heart of childhood. Presented by Bibliothek Art Gallery, founded and owned by Noha Barakat, in support of the community-based organization Alwan wa Awtar, the fundraising exhibition brings together works by different artists. Founded in 2005 by Azza Kamel, Alwan wa Awtar provides children with a safe space where they can explore art, handicrafts, build self-worth through ​​psychosocial support, and discover their potential.

Cairo Governor Ibrahim Saber unveiled a prototype for a new standardized kiosk design on Thursday, 17 September, as part of a new system to regulate licensed kiosks across the capital. Saber inspected the prototype in Bab Al-Louq in Abdeen district, where the new model is set to serve as the standard for existing licensed kiosks across Cairo’s districts. Under the new system, kiosk owners will have three months to replace their existing units with the approved design. The kiosks will come in two fixed sizes, 2×3 meters or 3×3 meters, with designated spaces for refrigerators, shelves, and other products to keep goods within the kiosk and prevent encroachment onto surrounding sidewalks and streets. Each kiosk will feature the Cairo Governorate logo, the kiosk’s name and license number, along with a QR code on the front. Scanning the code will provide information including the license holder’s name, location, license validity, and any outstanding fees. The standardized units will also include a fire extinguisher and a dedicated electricity meter, while the governorate is considering introducing a uniform for kiosk vendors. Kiosk owners can build the new units themselves or have them producedContinue reading "Cairo Unveils Standardized Kiosk Design"
