2⃣ The power of solidarity
In 2021, #TeamEurope shared over 350 million doses to low and middle-income countries - mostly via #COVAX. And our efforts will continue next year with more donations.
Because no one is safe until everyone is safe.

La Edad de Cobre
La Edad de Bronce
La Edad de Hierro
No es para menos, desde entonces, los metales han tenido muchas aplicaciones.

@narendramodi PM @narendramodi on politics: I had nothing to do with the political domain itself. My surroundings, my inner world, my philosophy—these were very different. Right from my younger days, my bent was spiritual
@narendramodi PM @narendramodi: The tenet of ‘Jan Seva Hi Prabhu Seva’ (Serving people is akin to serving the divine), which was propounded by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda always inspired me. It became a driving force in whatever I did
@narendramodi PM @narendramodi: As for politics, I did not even have a remote connection to it. It was much later that due to circumstances, and at the insistence of some friends, that I joined politics. Even there, I was in a position where I was primarily doing organisational work
In a message congratulating the excellence of Iranian athletes in the 2020 #Tokyo Paralympic Games, the President wrote, "The hoisting of the glorious flag of Iran and the echo of the anthem of the Islamic Republic of #Iran ....
#Tokyo2020
#Tokyo2020
....showed that the young people of this land overcome the obstacles and shortcomings, and they always step on the peaks of victory with authority”.
The excellence of Iranian athletes in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games and winning medals in different sport fields was another manifestation of their abilities and the slogan of "WE CAN" before the eyes of the world.

Atalanta: Maehle 🇩🇰
O jovem ala poderá ser uma das grandes surpresas desta Série A. Maehle diferencia-se por ser ambidestro, grande estampa física, muito sólido defensivamente e projeta-se bem no ataúde posicional de Gasperini. Permite Goosens subir mais na ala esquerda

«Ma che disabilità ha?»
Ogni giorno che passa, qui a #Tokyo2020, è la domanda che ci facciamo più spesso.
Alle Paralimpiadi la disabilità non si vede. Esiste, ma non esiste.

Alle Paralimpiadi la disabilità c’è ma non si vede, non la vediamo più noi.
Siamo costretti a sforzarci per vederla, capirla e raccontarla.
Dovere di cronaca, ma la verità è che non la vediamo più.

Albinos w Afryce to ktoś przeklęty. Zobaczyć go to pech: nie wyjdzie ci interes, zachorujesz albo ktoś z rodziny itp. Za to amulety z ich ciała pomagają na wszystko - pukiel włosów zapewni szczęście, stopy - bogactwo, penis - jurność. Ćwiartowani maczetami, okaleczani...
„Gdybym nie uciekła z Mali pewnie już bym nie żyła. Albo została bardzo okaleczona. W najlepszym razie wydana za mąż w wieku 14 lat i trzymana w zamknięciu" mówi Adiaratou, złota medalistka #Tokyo2020 na 100 m osób niedowidzących w barwach swej nowej ojczyzny – Hiszpanii
Niestety w Afryce wciąż istnieją przesądy, że albinos to owoc związku kobiety z demonem, obdarzony niezwykłą mocą. Toteż noworodki często są zabijane zaraz po porodzie. A jeśli matka upiera się zachować dziecko, rodzina się jej wyrzeka. Dorośli są atakowani w domach i na ulicach

While Dinesh Herath’s world class performance brought honor to our country and region, I noticed some had questioned the legitimacy of this win, questioned his disability and some reached out to me for clarification. Here are few things I'd like to share,
1) When you hear the word disability, you immediately think of someone who uses a wheelchair, a hearing aid, a white cane, and so on. However, did you know that not all disabilities are visible? Invisible disabilities, or hidden disabilities are primarily neurological in nature.
Chronic pains, chronic fatigue, long term depression/ anxiety, schizophrenia, autism, ADHD, HIV/AIDS, diabetes and etc. So, the gentle reminder here is that ‘Not All Disabilities Are Visible’.

#Paralympics #Tokyo2020
Nació en Irán 🇮🇷 hace 33 años, con acromegalia; una afección que provoca que la glándula pituitaria produzca excesiva hormona de crecimiento.
A los 15 años, Morteza se fracturó la pelvis y, a causa de ello, su pierna derecha dejó de crecer, quedando 15 centímetros más corta que la izquierda y provocándole dificultades para caminar.

As Jogos Paralímpicos de Tóquio 2020 tiveram início na manhã desta terça-feira (do Brasil), com a realização da cerimônia de abertura no Estádio Nacional do Japão.
“Nós temos asas” foi o tema do evento e os medalhistas paralímpicos Petrúcio Ferreira, do atletismo, e Evelyn Oliveira, da bocha, foram os porta-bandeiras do Brasil no evento.
A gente já começa a torcida hoje a noite, às 21h, quando a Seleção Brasileira masculina de goalball joga contra a Lituânia. Convido todos vocês a prestigiarem e torcerem junto comigo por nossa delegação paralímpica.
Es hora de darle la bienvenida a los Juegos Paralímpicos 😍
