J’ai rejoint X pour répondre. Ce que j’ai lu m’attriste et ne reflète pas ce que j’ai vécu. J’ai aidé à organiser la visite de la tour Eiffel, un lieu que j’aime. Beaucoup de visiteurs étaient là et, à ma connaissance, personne n’a été empêché d’y accéder. La photo en témoigne.

Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough! 🎂🌍
Thank you for a lifetime spent championing our natural world and reminding us all of our responsibility to protect it.
Your voice has inspired generations to look closer, care deeper, and act bolder.

Happy Easter from Elephant Family 🐘💚
Why not join The Elephant Trail this Easter at Battersea Power Station, on until 26 April.
Follow the trail on the app, discover all 21 sculptures, and even bid for the chance to take one home, all while supporting wildlife conservation.

The British Asian Trust and Standard Chartered Foundation have been partnering for 5 years. We're proud of the impact our work together has achieved to support the youth in Pakistan. #Futuremakers
Globally, 20% of young people are not in employment, education or training*. But what can we do about it?
For more than half a decade, through our Futuremakers by Standard Chartered community initiative, we’ve helped young people learn and grow.
So far, we’ve enabled almost 89,000 jobs for young people. To achieve our ambitions going forward, agility will be key.

It was a sad privilege to offer my prayers at Swaminarayan Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar today. My thoughts are with the families, friends and loved ones of all those impacted by the devastating plane crash that happened yesterday, particularly communities here in Gujarat and back in the UK.
