The second round of the third season was launched at Al-Azhar Hifiza Al-Alfi Primary School in Cairo. This event coincided with Egypt's celebrations of the October victories.
The program began with a national word at the school's morning assembly. The speech instilled a sense of loyalty and belonging in the students. This was followed by an educational symposium on the heroism of the War of Dignity and Glory and Al-Azhar's role in supporting the nation's progress. The students then visited the Egyptian Postal Museum. The museum is one of the oldest specialized museums in Egypt.
The visit aimed to introduce the students to the museum's rare collections that document Egypt's postal history. The students learned about the museum's sections and historical holdings.
