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.

Growing up we were told that Baba Raila Odinga was immortal and could turn into a fly to escape from Government operatives. His death has been very difficult to process. Rest in peace Baba the myth.
To Kenyans watching the interview, former Chief Justice David Maraga comes across as a dull candidate, too calm and too restrained for the political theatre we’ve grown accustomed to.
A lot of us are tuned in, not to hear his policies, but hoping he’ll throw jabs, hurl insults, or make wild accusations, anything to spark some chaos.
Just for a second, we want Maraga to sound like Gachagua. But instead, he keeps circling back to the rule of law, promising order and constitutionalism.
And maybe that says more about us than him. We've grown so accustomed to loud politics and unruly leaders that we now crave drama over discipline.
We've normalised the circus, and now we miss it when it's not there.

@BarazaOrinda@davidjesse_ I sometimes wonder if Kenyans want change or they just wanna swap parrots. Honestly, we are evaluating leadership capabilities on pointless narratives. The curse continues.
