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.

Periodic reminder that building bike lanes is not a technical challenge.
It is a political one!

As a bike enthusiast herself, Sanitation Worker Jaclyn Mondido knows the importance of a clean bike lane.
That's why she loves operating our new electric sweeper overnight in the West Village – it’s made especially for bike lanes.

After spending millions of dalasis on stadium renovations, @BaksBadjie and crew at @MOYSTheGambia are now claiming that @CAF_Online came to inspect their work too early. This is a weak excuse, and it is clear that the renovations were not completed to a satisfactory standard.

We’ve never met but I had to fly to Miami to look this man @TheAnswerMMA in the eyes, hug him and shake his hand. I’ve been moved & motivated by his story ❤️
He recently won his first fight in the @ufc.
He had $7 bucks in his bank account when he won.
He sleeps on a couch in the gym.
After the fight, he sold his fight gear (trunks & gloves) on line and made $7,000. Instead of using the money to find a place to live, he built a bush pump so his village back in Zimbabwe can have clean water.
He never asked me for anything, but I just wanted to help the guy out. $7 Bucks ya know.
And I felt the MANA & emotion in every hug 😊💪🏾
Very good and very special day.
