A beautifully written piece about #Ramadan and #Gaza . Thanks Zaina Arafat for always bringing people’s lives and real stories to light in such an eloquent way. It’s really important in these times!

Productive conversations at #WEF2024 on innovative finance for demining in Ukraine with Swiss MFA Yulia Svyrydenko GICHD

#Davos : Our director, Stefano is attending Swiss MFA's session, Humanitarian demining in Ukraine 🇺🇦. Viola Amherd Yulia Svyrydenko Ramin Toloui & BlackRock's P. Hildebrand address solutions for protecting the Ukrainian population from mines and other explosive ordnance. #WEF2024

Thank you ⁦Zaina Arafat⁩ bringing such a personal perspective on #Gaza in this piece. For helping me to recognise that the ‘news’ is too distant, that what we’re witnessing is real and daily life now for too many people nymag.com/intelligencer/…

An extremely human account of the inhuman double standard that affects Palestinians everyday, and now more than ever. @NYTOpinion nytimes.com/2023/10/25/opi…

Appalled by the customer service of lastminute.com. How is it possible that they’re unable to correct an error on my name on the ticket, when the airline says they can? Will stay well away from such con artists in future!

It’s great to work with inspiring organisations like The Witham to help them achieve their ambitions for arts, culture and the community.

And I couldn’t ask for a better business partner in Symbio Impact Ltd than you Chris Loughran. 2023-24 is going to be an exciting time!
