The Holy Month of #Ramadan teaches us many lessons: to treat with respect, to lead with empathy, to strengthen our humility, to learn from past mistakes & care for the most vulnerable. A special thought to those unable to celebrate because of wars & disasters #RamadanMubarak

Its outrageous to witness the widening gap between humanitarian needs and aid in #Africa . More guns, more lives lost, civilians are bearing the brunt. In #DRC some 7 million are displaced from their homes, 2.5 million of them in North Kivu alone. #EHF2024
