Spent Saturday in Wadi Rum— two days later, I'm still in awe. The desert's silence, strength, and sheer beauty are beyond words. There's a deep, grounding magic in Jordan—something ancient that you feel in your bones. Grateful for the peace and power this place shared. #Jordan

80 years ago, from the ashes of war, the world planted a seed of hope: The United Nations charter as a promise that peace is possible when humanity stands together & as the foundation of international cooperation for a better world. I will never give up on that hope. #CharterDay
