If you're on the fence - go! Sublime mix of belly laughs, friendship, love, kick ass songs, a healthy dose of the 1990s and a whiff of the Conchords. Laughed and cried, I did. Loved it. Almost as much as Six. @sosinglemusical

Day 2 kicked off with a fascinating visit to the #Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Property & concluded with me photo bombing about 1000 tourist photos. Can you spot me hanging out above the #Trevi Fountain? I didn't need to throw a coin - of course I'll be back

It's an auspicious day to be discussing the elimination of racial discrimination, racial hatred and racial hate crimes at the #UNESCO Executive Board. #FightRacism, say #NoToHate
Racism has no place in our society.
We all have a role to play in the struggle against hate.
As we mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, let’s make a difference together. Say no to racism. Say #NoToHate.

The @UKinZimbabwe & @UNICEFZIMBABWE delegations had a front-row seat to the positive developments at Kunaka Rural Hospital in Seke. From the Health Transition Fund to the Health Development Fund & now the #HRFZim, The UK's funding streams have been the backbone of progress.
