We’re taking care of the square, and then we’ll clean up the whole country. This is a beautiful country. Now it’s ours and we’re going to take care of it.” -Mohammed El Tayeb, AOL News

After a history making past 18 days of protests, a “Day of Rage” and the “Day of Millions” 30 year dictator Hosni Mubarak was pushed out of office by Egyptians demanding change. How do you top that? Well, one day later Egyptians declared Saturday, February 12, 2011 a “Day of Cleaning”.

Centering around Tahrir Square in Cairo, men and women of all ages united to clean up the litter that’s gathered over the past month, when municipal workers found it impossible to clean around the crowds.

Cleaning crews wore signs reading simply, “Sorry for the disturbance, we’re building Egypt.” -good.is

How amazing to see people taking such pride in their country, in their environment.
