The @UN is a promise that when bombs fall, floods rise, or children have nothing to eat, someone will reach out a hand.
It takes a special kind of person to uphold that promise; a person prepared to riks it all for others.
It's been the privilege of my life to work with people like that.

Yet colour-based discrimination still denies many the chance to fully participate in society.
This #InternationalAlbinismAwarenessDay, we call for inclusion, safety & respect for all.

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize.
Born on this day, she was a committed environmentalist and founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.
