Yousef Yagoub Yousef paints a lamp post in the Egyptian village of Kafr Darwish. This work was part of a project sponsored by the ACT Alliance and coordinated by Bless, the social development agency of the Coptic Orthodox Church. It provided economic assistance to families and communities affected by the political changes of the Arab Spring, when many Egyptians working abroad in Libya and other countries, or in the nation's capital Cairo (as was the case with Yousef), lost their employment and were forced to return to their home villages.
