Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.

Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.

The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.

We are proud to have them on our team.

नेपालमा पवित्र पत्रकारिता कसले गर्छ ? कोही रहेनछ I पत्रकारले देशलाई केन्द्रमा राख्नु पर्ने हो तर सबै आफ्नै ब्यक्तिगत स्वार्थमा। अब त हुँदा-हुँदा मध्यावधि चाहिएछ। पत्रकारले जहिले राजनिती गर्न छोड्छन त्यहि दिन देखि देश बिस्तारै बन्न थाल्नेछ । मैले यो योगदान गरें त्यो गरे भन्न छोड्नुस। हरेक सचेत नागरिकले देशको लागि योगदान गर्छन।

Disconnect between Spirit and Nature: yet they are the same thing. Ive noticed after 30 years of being in India and Nepal……the disconnect from God and Nature is immense. Indians are so spiritual, and the worst polluters on earth. India is a huge trash pile. I see cars with Ganesh and Shiva stickers on them, throwing plastic bottles out the window. Huge disconnect.
HHHUUUGGGEEEEE!
I was coming down from Muktinath yesterday, one of the holiest places on Earth for Hindus, and cars full of Indians throwing trash out the window. I finally had to stop and say “pick that plastic bottle up that you just threw into the river”. The Indians looked so surprised, then shocked, then angry. Why?

Most architects design vernacular buildings for clients and go home to something entirely different themselves, an imported aesthetic disconnected from the climate it sits in. The philosophy stays a pitch, not a practice.

Himanshu Patel didn’t do that. Tribhuvana is his own architecture studio, the workspace he actually shows up to every day, built in Khanderaopura village near Ahmedabad, Gujarat. d6thD Design Studio. 2,691 sq ft. Completed 2022.

It is built the same way he designs for clients, vernacular material, local form, detail drawn from the village around it rather than imposed on it. He didn’t build a monument to the idea and go live somewhere else. He built the argument and put himself inside it.

An architect who believes his own philosophy enough to inhabit it isn’t selling an idea. He’s demonstrating one.

Slice of my Life: Morning spin around the Chorten at 11,000 feet, and on my way back down from Muktinath.
It’s always good to stop, and give some time away to the good things in life.

What I heard and saw in Nepal left me optimistic about what comes next. Watch highlights from my visit.

[Masato Kanda @ADBPresident]

It was an honor to meet Nepal’s Prime Minister @ShahBalen and congratulate him on the strong mandate he has received.

I affirmed ADB’s strong commitment to supporting his ambitious reforms towards economic transformation, job creation, and investment.  ADB is stepping up as Nepal’s largest development partner, with additional support of $2.4 billion through 2029 to help translate the Prime Minister’s vision into results on the ground.

For 60 years, Nepal and ADB have worked together through hardship, recovery, and progress, delivering safer schools, cleaner energy, stronger infrastructure, and better opportunities.

I look forward to working closely with the Prime Minister and his government to deliver tangible and lasting progress for the people of Nepal.

@uttambajra78742 नेपाल लाई भारतको आँखा बाट मात्र हेर्न हुन्न होला दाजु I करोडौं जनसंख्या अझै पनि बिहान लोटा लिएर झाडी छिर्छ। त्यतिकै संख्या मा गरिबी छ। युपि लगायतका ठाउँमा पानी नछेक्ने छाना छन। तरपनी तुलना हरेक कुरामा उसलाई माथी राखेर गरिन्छ।

[Masato Kanda @ADBPresident]

Arrived in Kathmandu at a pivotal moment for Nepal.

The country has shown remarkable resilience through repeated shocks and periods of major change. As Nepal's largest development partner, with an active portfolio of $3.9 billion, we will support Nepal in turning that resilience into sustained progress, creating more opportunity and building the foundations for long-term growth.

As Nepal’s new government sets out its priorities, I look forward to listening, learning, and discussing how ADB can support the country’s next chapter, building on six decades of partnership.

Family Pooja (Ceremony) in the Hills of Nepal :
My Dear friend Netra and wife Tara, made a family Pooja to bring all their family together in love and prayers. This is what that looks like, in the Hindu hills of Nepal.
As I have mentioned previously, the villages of Nepal are in a red alert death spiral, and I’m not certain they will last even another generation. They are dying that fast. Netra, the father and leader of his family, saw this clearly, and made this Pooja happen even when he couldn’t afford it. He made it happen because he knew the way of life that has “always been”, will “no longer be”. It was true, he was right, within months of this ceremony, 2 of these people moved to England, never to return. One of them moved to Scotland, and left their child behind, and will never return. 2 of them were divorced (which is the history of Nepal is very uncommon, but getting more common by the day) and their child now living with the grandparents. The family literally exploded.
Now…..my friend Netra and his wife are old, living the hard life of the hills…..alone. Trying to feed their animals, trying to plow, trying to raise their grandchildren…..with old and weathered bodies, and no youth to be seen helping. The death of a village….of a culture…..of ancient wisdom. Lineage broken.
This is reality.

Joint Statement by the State of Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Regarding The Conclusion of Lake Lucerne Summit, First High-Level Committee Meeting with Participation of the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran

Lucerne | June 22, 2026

The first session of high level talks under the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding have concluded in Burgenstock, Switzerland, with the participation of representatives from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the United States of America, and the two mediating parties, the State of Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The Lake Lucerne Summit was conducted in a positive and constructive atmosphere. Encouraging progress has been made including the creation of a mechanism for further technical talks.

Building on the MoU, the parties have agreed to the establishment of a High Level Committee, which will provide political oversight on the mediation. Chief negotiators will report regularly to the High Level Committee and lead working groups focused on nuclear, sanctions, and a monitoring and dispute resolution group to ensure the effective implementation of the MoU, and on other matters.

The High Level Committee has agreed upon a roadmap towards reaching a final deal within 60 days, laying the foundation for the immediate commencement of further technical talks. In addition, a communication line between the parties has been formed for the period mentioned in paragraph 5 of the MoU to avoid incidents and miscommunication with the aim of safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Moreover, the parties agreed on the creation of a de-confliction cell, between the parties, the Lebanese Republic and facilitated by the Mediators, to ensure the adherence of the termination of military operations in Lebanon as per the MoU. Technical talks will continue for the remainder of the week at the Burgenstock resort on all issues.

The mediating parties will continue to do their utmost to ensure that the negotiations continue to be conducted in a constructive atmosphere with the aim of reaching a final deal.

The State of Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan express their sincere appreciation to the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their ongoing commitment to diplomacy and a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The mediating parties further commend brotherly and friendly countries for their continued support and valuable contribution to the ongoing negotiations.

Had a productive meeting with the Chairman of Nepal’s Rastriya Swatantra Party, Mr. @hamrorabi, to discuss strengthening the United States-Nepal partnership.

It was indeed a great delight to engage in such a productive hour-long conversation with Hon. PM @narendramodi today. I share your vision for a future where Nepal and India transcend past constraints to embrace a new era of development diplomacy. By focusing on shared civilizational bonds, digital corridors, and seamless connectivity, we can truly build a partnership defined by progress and mutual trust. RSP looks forward to translating these possibilities into reality for people of Nepal and India - for our shared prosperity.
