Central Post Office. The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved remnant of French colonial times and perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia. The building was designed by Alfred Foulhoux and features arched windows and wooden shutters, just as it would have in its heyday in the late 19th Century. #saigon #urbanlandmark #postoffice #vietnam #architecture #vietnamesehistory

Established by French colonists who initially named it Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saïgon, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. All the original building materials were imported from France. Today, I have found a route to admire the cathedral on the way to and from my office. At sunset, an elderly Vietnamese woman prayed in peace at the foot of Mary. My father was baptised here in the 1930s. #notredamesaigon #saigon #hcmc #cathedral #prayer #sunset #urbanphotography

World Vision is implementing a GIZ funded WASH project which brings together Jordanian communities hosting Syrians, by contributing to maintain a stable level of water supply at Wadi Al-Arab Dam, through provision of livelihoods opportunities. These are the faces of this project. #jordanian #livelihood #syrianrefugees #WASH #peace #water #communities

“You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.” Warsan Shire #iwd2019 #internationalwomensday
