PURE Welcomes Mona Orkoulas, creator of Fish For Life Foundation, to Organizing Committee

Businesswoman, activist, philanthropist, one part Egyptian, one part Greek, a native of New Orleans and a local to Las Vegas, Mona Orkoulas has joined the Organizing Committee of PURE.

Succeeding in businesses including industrial plumbing, Mona created Fish For Life Foundation to implement assistance programs for the poor, and aid community development.  An Arabic speaker, Mona set the organization's sights on sustainable projects in Ayat and El Saff , Egypt, where over 1 million residents lack clean drinking water.  Fish For Life now provides technical training to community volunteers who maintain reverse-osmosis machines it has provided, aiding thousands.

"Many of the homes I visited had no roofs, no bathrooms, no sanitation, and no running water. But the people of the village were amazing."  Mona says.

Mona's experience, contacts and ability to transact on the ground, in epicenters of great need for potable water in urban Egypt, will be of great value to PURE exhibitors.  We are thrilled to have her help!
