“Faraway Words” with Andy Elarabi | 17 Dec. 2024

The show featured a phone interview with Andy Elarabi, the first visually impaired Egyptian woman to excel in the Certificate of Attainment in Greek. The top graduate in the Greek language spoke about her passion and love for Greece, which began at the age of 13 when she listened to the broadcasts of the Greek Program of Egyptian Radio. The voices of Greek producers filled her soul with unique feelings, and from that moment, she became a devoted listener and lover of the Greek language.

As she mentioned, she took the exams for the Certificate of Attainment in Greek, writing in Braille for 12 consecutive hours!
In 2019, she was awarded as the best student of the Faculty of Philosophy at Fayoum University and Cairo University. In 2020, she was honored by the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Greek Embassy in Cairo, and the Greek Cultural Center in Cairo. In 2021, she graduated from the Department of Modern Greek Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy of Cairo University. She presented educational programs for Arabic speakers to learn Modern Greek and other programs for the Greek broadcast in Cairo from 2017 to 2022.
In 2022, she participated in an event for the Greek language at the Cairo Book Fair and the International Poetry Festival of Naousa. She also holds a teaching diploma from Ain Shams University.
In 2023, she participated in the Cairo Book Fair with the historical novel “The Visions of the Throne of Alba.”
In May 2024, she was honored by the cultural organization “Art of Kilkis” at an event titled “The Egyptian Who Loved Greece,” attended by over 200 people.
Today, Andy Elarabi teaches Greek to Arabic speakers and Arabic to Greeks. She aspires to pursue postgraduate studies at the University of Western Macedonia and dreams of returning to Greece one day.
