Limitless power of human imagination, innovation and thinking outside the box. Let's continue to dream. There are many more solutions..

Brazilian engineers have developed a device that extracts drinking water from dry desert air—without using electricity. This life-saving invention relies on solar energy, bringing hope to communities where water scarcity is a daily struggle.

By harnessing nature’s power, this technology is changing lives and ensuring access to one of humanity’s most basic needs. It’s a shining example of how innovation can address urgent global challenges. 💧☀️

The Philanthropy Week: Givers, dreamers, and doers

it's time for Global leaders who make decisions based on the need to meet deadlines and self-serving interests to wake up to the reality - we MUST built a world founded on the pillars of justice, peace and prosperity.

I’ve traveled to 30+ countries as a journalist over the past few years and some of the most important things I learned never made it into a TV package. Here are a few:

1. The more time you spend in different countries, the harder it is to believe in black-and-white takes.

2. Reality is slow. Media is fast. That gap is where misunderstanding lives.

3. The most dangerous ideas aren’t lies. They’re half-truths that feel complete.

4. Many decisions that shape the world are made by people who are simply trying to meet a deadline.

5. People everywhere want the same things: dignity, security, and a future for their children.

6. You can learn more about a person by how they treat a driver than by how they lead a meeting.

7. The world moves fast — but wisdom still takes time.

8. No one sees themselves as a villain. Even the worst actions are often justified in someone’s mind.

9. Identity becomes sharper in foreign places. You learn who you are when you’re not the majority.

10. Experience isn’t the same as exposure. You can be everywhere and still miss everything.

I’d love to hear — what have you learned from your travels?
