“There is no ‘Plan B’ because we do not have a ‘Planet B.’ We have to work and galvanize our action.” - unknown

I woke up at 7am this morning to head to Penn station and drop my visitor off. It was a hot and arduous walk and actually, it is also the exact opposite way of the UN.

I had to carry my dress shirt and blazer because of how scortchingly hot it was outside... I couldn't deal with the heat.

I headed over to work, worked on a few projects and then tried to slip myself into the conference for the international day of Nelson Mandela... where STEVIE WONDER WAS A GUEST AT, but unfortunately, my work came first so I completely missed it. Oh well.

At around 1, I went down to volunteer for the Partnership Exchange which was supporting the Sustainable Development Goals through Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships - Ensuring that No one is Left Behind.

I did some pretty menial stuff at the start, giving out passes, guiding people through the building, bringing through guests. But all in all, it was a pretty great experience, I got to meet other people,
Yeah!
network and I surprisingly learned a lot about Partnerships, businesses and corporations and all the different ideas and thought they have on changing the way business works.

It's been really amazing to see so many business places really embrace and take into heart the SDGs.

Unfortunately, I was called back up to my office during my volunteering, so I had to head back up and work on my project.

After work wasn't too exciting, I headed out to pick up something from a store and I was meant to go watch the Omen with some friends, but it didn't work out, so I ended up going back home, skyping and relaxing!
