"Clothed entirely in white, Mama Maggie is almost an angelic presence in Egypt's slums, embodying the virtues of generosity, gentleness and charity." –from the letter to the Norwegian Peace Committee

(Cairo, Egypt)—A Coptic Christian woman and ministry leader, affectionately known as "Mama Maggie Gobran," was nominated recently for this year"s Nobel Peace Prize.

According to the Christian Post report, Gorban was nominated by several US Congressmen, for her benevolent work with Cairo"s poorest-of-the-poor who live in garbage slums.

If that sounds a bit reminiscent of Mother Teresa in the slums of Calcutta, Gorban has actually been called the "Mother Teresa of Cairo." But the locals who love her know her as "Mama Maggie."

Gobran founded Stephen"s Children, a ministry that helps those families, regardless of whether they are Christian or Muslim.

A letter to the Norwegian Peace Committee read in part, "It is through her deep religious and moral commitment that Mama Maggie has succeeded in creating an organization that serves the most poor, desperate, and vulnerable population of Egypt. Clothed entirely in white, Mama Maggie is almost an angelic presence in Egypt's slums, embodying the virtues of generosity, gentleness and charity."
