Of his experiences in Egypt Yanni states, \u201c”My visit to Egypt has changed my life forever! The outpouring of love, acceptance and support that I felt from the Egyptian people, combined with their endless smiles and open hearts, has made me fall in love with them! I can never be the same again! Thank you for making my dream come true and for helping me complete a very important and beautiful cycle in my life! I will never forget you !\u201d<\/p>\n
