Egyptian Scholars Welcome in Arkansas | Little Rock News

Rotary Club 999 rolled out the red carpet for Egyptian scholars Ghenwa Sherif and Judy Tamer with a lavish dinner hosted by Phillip and Maha Witherington—former Cairo colleagues who met while working on defense contracts and U.S. Embassy missions. Maha dazzled guests with authentic Egyptian cuisine, including stuffed grape leaves, falafel, okra stew, baklava, and pear cake. The evening kicked off a whirlwind Arkansas experience: river trips, government tours, and deep cultural exchanges—all designed to immerse these young scholars in American life and build lasting international bridges, one warm meal and meaningful conversation at a time.
