Every day we see and hear images and stories of pain and suffering in our own neighborhoods and in countries far away. But we also find acts of kindness, great and small. World Humanitarian Day is a global celebration of people helping people. Every year on August 19th, World Humanitarian Day recognizes those who face danger and adversity to help others. August 19th is the anniversary of the 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, which killed 22 people. It honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and pay tribute to those who continue to help people around the world, regardless of who they are and where they are. We invite you to watch this short video bellow, were artist Beyoncé is singing “ I was here” song and pay attention on the video installation behind. We are sure will touch your heart and mind. And from tomorrow you can start too doing something good, somewhere, for someone else. Than go to the link after and place your pin on the map, find someone to help, or choose an organization to support. Where ever you are, whatever you do, say ‘I Was Here’.

Note: “I Was Here” is a song recorded by American R&B artist Beyoncé Knowles from her fourth studio album, 4 (2011). It was written by Diane Warren, while production was handled by Ryan Tedder, Brent Kutzle, and Kuk Harrell; Knowles is credited on the vocal production. “I Was Here” is a reflective ballad, in which Knowles vulnerably reviews her past, wanting to leave an impact on the world before her life comes to an end. The song’s development was motivated by the September 11 attacks in the United States.
