What a fantastic heavenly atmosphere, the one created by the cello and violin of the Ayoub Sisters as they divinely played for Hospital 57357’s children and their families last Wednesday, Feb.12, 2020 at the auditorium. Laura and Sara Ayoub who are of Egyptian origin, were born and raised in Scotland. They form a musical duo specialized in playing cello and violin and accompany world famous singers and music players. Last month they celebrated being announced as an official British musical team.
Although this is their first visit to the Hospital , the two sisters were well acquainted with 57357 since they participated back in 2015 in an unprecedented event organized by The Egyptian Association of Scotland in Glasgow titled “Concert for Cancer” for the benefit of the Children’s Cancer Hospital Foundation Egypt 57357. The two sisters were instrumental in making the event a big success as it brought close to 10,000 sterling pounds in favor of 57357.
After their musical show, the Ayoub Sisters visited the art therapy workshop where they praised the psychology-based methods used with children through artistic activities to help them accept their treatment journey and improve their morale. They commended the world quality of care provided to all children equally. They visited the location of the plaque dedicated to the acknowledgement of the donation they participated in offering under the name of Egyptians in Scotland.
The guests expressed their impression about the visit saying: “it was delightful to play music for the children and their families, and to have them singing with us. We are proud of the Hospital and we will come back to be with the children and their families”.
Our gratitude to all expatriate Egyptians who, near or far, hold Egypt and its children with cancer in their hearts!
