Never underestimate the difference you can make as a person.
165 years ago today, Henry Dunant witnessed the horrors of the Battle of Solferino, where 40,000 soldiers lay dead or wounded. Confronted with this tragedy, he asked a simple yet profound question: What can be done?
Driven by compassion, he mobilized the local community to care for the injured, regardless of their allegiance, and to collect the last messages of the dying for their loved ones.
This pivotal moment sparked a movement. Four years later, Dunant founded the @ICRC, an enduring symbol of humanity.
We are the heirs of Henry Dunant. His life and legacy remind us that even in the face of overwhelming challenges, the power of individual action is immense.
Human history is still being written, and our actions can shape the world for generations to come.
As overwhelming as the world challenges are, don’t get overwhelmed. Like Dunant, ask yourself what you can do, how you can show up for others.

A glimpse of the opening of the exhibition 'Dialogues on Humanity,' commemorating the 75th anniversary of the #GenevaConventions, together with the Swiss Embassy in Jordan. The exhibition also aims to highlight the indisputable relevance of this “one set of rules we all agree on”
