Houston Arab Community Mutual Aid
SUPPORTING ONE ANOTHER DURING CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK
 During
these challenging and uncertain times with the outbreak of
the coronavirus, the Houston Arab Community has not been
spared from the economic impact. That is why 13
organizations have joined a coalition of Arab organizations
in the Houston community to carry forward mutual aid relief
efforts to serve and support the Arab community of Houston.
Our first step as the Houston Arab Community Mutual
Aid Coalition or HACMA Coalition is outreach to our
community so that we better understand the needs of the
community in this trying time. In order to achieve this, we
have done the following and ask for your participation:
(1) We put together a
form in both Arabic and English to find out who
in our community needs help.
(2) We put together a
form for volunteering and donations.
Both forms can be found by clicking here.
We are hoping we can work together to build a
strong, united Arab community in Houston to uplift one
another. If you have any questions or need to reach our
coalition at any time, please contact:
houamac2020@gmail.com.

Hall of Ancient Egypt
Permanent Collection
Safely ensconced in the Sahara desert, and drawing
its lifeblood from the river Nile, ancient Egyptian
civilization flourished for more than three
millennia. A quintessential example of what
archaeologists call a primary civilization,” ancient
Egypt did not rely on inspiration from others to
develop its own architecture, writing and
religion—all of Egyptian culture was developed “in
house.”
The themes of writing, religion, natural resources
and of course mummification will be explored in this
new permanent exhibition hall.
When: Members Preview: May 24-30, 2013; Public
Opening: May 31, 2013
Location: Houston Museum of Natural Science, 5555
Hermann Park Drive, Houston 77030
Ever since the late 18th century, the Western world
has been exploring Egypt. This hall will present
artifacts collected during these early days of
investigations, and will also compare old-style
archaeology with 21st-century approaches, such as
using satellite imagery and remote sensing to locate
and map ancient settlements. The Museum’s own mummy,
Ankh Hap, will be moved to his new surroundings in
time for the opening on May 24, 2013.
