Embassy of Egypt
March 30, 2026
My deepest gratitude to Ambassador of Egypt Motaz Zahran and Mrs. Hala Zahran for hosting such an extraordinary evening in support of Saving Innocents. Their gracious leadership, warmth, and steadfast commitment to causes that matter so deeply continue to uplift and inspire our community.
A heartfelt thank you as well to Rosie Cataldo for her powerfully informative documentary and for sharing survivor stories that moved us all so profoundly. Her work brings truth, awareness, and urgency to a subject the world must no longer ignore.
And last, but certainly not least, to the formidable Conchita Sarnoff — thank you for your extraordinary courage, your unwavering dedication to humanity and justice, and for exposing the devastating truth behind human trafficking and its unspeakable horrors.
I am also deeply grateful to all the guests who joined us that evening, whose compassion, presence, and commitment reflected a shared determination to make a difference in the future of vulnerable children. I am truly honored and grateful to stand with those committed to protecting children and confronting this abominable crime.
