An inspiring speaker at yesterday’s event, was Dr. Nour (Norhan Sharaf) —a sister from Dallas, Texas, who’s a medical doctor.

She described how, in her words, “every imaginable thing that could go wrong, did go wrong.” Yet even during those extremely challenging times, she often found herself being comforted by the very patients she was caring for, or their families.
