Don’t miss part 3 coming soon with even more surprises!
Walking into Madame Tussauds on the very first day of 2025 felt like stepping into a dream where reality and imagination blur. The air buzzed with excitement, and the moment I crossed the threshold, I was greeted by a dazzling world of artistry, history, and celebrity magic.
I wandered through the halls, each corner unveiling a new surprise. Suddenly, there I was, standing shoulder to shoulder with Bob Marley, his serene smile radiating the same peace his music always carried. Just a few steps away, Beyoncés stood in her iconic glory, exuding power and elegance—posing beside her felt like sharing a moment with pure royalty.
The energy shifted as I met Ariana Grande, her youthful charm captured perfectly in wax. Then came the playful thrill of standing next to Justin Bieber, frozen mid-performance, as if ready to break into song at any second.
The Hollywood glamour section was breathtaking. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stood like timeless icons, their presence commanding the room. Nicole Kidman shimmered with sophistication, while Leonardo DiCaprio looked every bit the star who has captivated audiences for decades.
Every figure felt alive, every pose a story. I wasn’t just taking pictures—I was collecting memories, snapshots of joy, and moments of inspiration. The artistry behind each wax figure reminded me of the power of human creativity, and how it can preserve legends for generations to come.
Leaving the museum, I felt lighter, happier, and inspired. Madame Tussauds wasn’t just a gallery of wax—it was a celebration of dreams, talent, and the magic of being human.
And this was only Part 1 of my journey. The showcase continues, and trust me—you won’t want to miss Part 2.
Richmond Park and its jewel, the Isabella Plantation, are living tapestries of biodiversity—ancient oaks, rare acid grasslands, and dazzling azaleas weave together a sanctuary that not only delights visitors but also embodies the spirit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These landscapes are more than green escapes; they are models of how urban nature can nurture ecosystems, communities, and global sustainability.
🌳 Introduction:
Imagine stepping into a misty dawn where red deer move like shadows across open meadows, skylarks spiral into the sky above centuries-old oaks, and ponds ripple with the flash of a kingfisher’s wings. This is Richmond Park, London’s largest Royal Park at 2,500 acres, a National Nature Reserve where wetlands, meadows, and lowland acid grasslands (a rare habitat nationally) coexist The Royal Parks. Hidden within lies the Isabella Plantation, a 40-acre woodland garden bursting with azaleas, rhododendrons, and magnolias, a kaleidoscope of color that transforms each spring into a living canvas The Royal ParksWikipedia. Together, they form a microcosm of biodiversity—an urban ark where flora and fauna thrive against the backdrop of a bustling city.

⚠️ Challenges & Opportunities
Threats: Invasive species (e.g., oak processionary moth), climate change impacts, and visitor pressures Friends of Richmond Park.
Richmond Park and Isabella Plantation remind us that biodiversity is not a distant rainforest dream—it thrives at the edge of our cities. By protecting these landscapes, we are not only safeguarding deer, azaleas, and skylarks but also advancing the SDGs, proving that sustainability begins with the places we cherish most.
Would you like me to craft this into a short narrative piece—almost like a guided walk through the park—so it reads like a story that blends biodiversity with the SDGs? That could make it even more engaging for presentations or educational use.
Luanda, Angola – In a shocking turn of events, one of Angola’s most iconic television figures has been suspended for 30 days and penalized with a fine of 1 million kwanza. The decision has stunned the population, who long considered him “untouchable.”
Young Angolans, particularly those born in the 1990s, expressed disbelief: “We never imagined this could happen to him. We grew up watching him deliver the news, even back when television was still in black and white.”
Perfect — let’s enrich the Public Reflection section with references to ethics, journalistic responsibility, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), which emphasizes access to information, accountability, and ethical governance. Here’s the updated article:
Angolan TV Icon Suspended and Fined
Luanda, Angola – In a stunning development, Angolan television legend Ernesto Bartolomeu has been suspended for 30 days and fined 1 million kwanza (equivalent to ten national minimum wages). The sanction was imposed after Bartolomeu served as master of ceremonies at the central celebrations of November 11, 2025, Angola’s Independence Day — a role deemed a violation of journalistic ethics by the Comissão da Carteira e Ética (CCE).
This decision has shocked the public, many of whom grew up watching Bartolomeu deliver the news. “We never imagined this could happen to him. He was untouchable. We were born and raised watching him on TV, even back when broadcasts were in black and white,” said Angolans.
The Legacy of Ernesto Bartolomeu
Early Start: Began his television career at 17 years old.
Presenter Debut: By 22, he was already a presenter at TPA (Televisão Pública de Angola).
International Career: In 1992, he joined the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) during a post-conflict period, gaining international recognition before returning to Angola as a national icon.
Wider Sanctions in the Media Sector
According to Novo Jornal, Bartolomeu is not the only journalist penalized. The CCE also fined:
Leda Macuéria (TV Zimbo)
Lukénia Gomes (TPA)
Joaquim Kissanga (Rádio Ecclésia, Kwanza-Norte)
São Arreiga (Rádio Nacional de Angola, Soyo)
Tomé Armando (Rádio Luanda)
Matias Miguel (freelance journalist)
All were sanctioned for ethical and professional violations.
In the coming days, over 50 journalists from various outlets are expected to face disciplinary measures. The CCE also announced that fines will be applied to media organizations employing journalists without valid professional licenses, or with expired credentials.
Public Reflection: Ethics, Truth, and the SDGs
The suspension of Bartolomeu — a figure synonymous with Angolan television for decades — has ignited debate about press freedom, ethics, and accountability in the country’s media landscape.
This case highlights the importance of journalistic integrity as outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), which calls for “public access to information and protection of fundamental freedoms.”
Ethics in Journalism: Journalists are entrusted with the responsibility to inform, not to conceal. Their credibility depends on truth-telling, impartiality, and adherence to professional standards.
Public Trust: Figures like Bartolomeu carry symbolic weight. When they falter, it risks eroding public confidence in media institutions.
Democratic Accountability: Ethical journalism is a cornerstone of democracy. It ensures that citizens are empowered with facts rather than propaganda, strengthening institutions and civic participation.
For Angola, this moment serves as a reminder that media ethics are not optional — they are essential for building a society where truth prevails over silence, and accountability over impunity.
On this special occasion, we sincerely thank God and all of you who have been with us throughout this journey. Every experience has contributed to our spiritual, moral, and professional growth. So far, the Lord has sustained us, and your presence has strengthened us.
As we travel through the city, we dedicate our free time and mission to bringing joy to people, speaking with the most vulnerable, lending a hand, and offering support.
These simple acts reflect universal values and are aligned with theSustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
SDG 1 (No Poverty): by supporting those in need.
SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being): by promoting care and compassion.
SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities): by including and valuing every person.
May we continue together, building a fairer, more supportive, and hopeful society.
Feliz Natal e um Ano Novo próspero!

Empowering Communities and Children Through Talentos Multiplus
Greetings, everyone.
My name is Sofonie Dala, and I am the founder of this platform as well as the startup Talentos Multiplus. Our initiative is built on multiple online community labs dedicated to providing innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges, all aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
This platform, which we inaugurated in December 2019, actually came before the official creation and legalization of our startup in July 2020. Today, we are proud and delighted to celebrate the 5th anniversary of our work. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the millions of online viewers who have supported and followed us throughout this journey.
Over these five years, we have revisited and celebrated many successful challenges featured on our platforms. Ladies and gentlemen, it is well recognized and documented that children are the future of tomorrow. That is why today’s tribute is dedicated to them.
We have been working tirelessly to empower children—both in rural and urban areas—through creativity, innovation, and opportunity. As part of this celebration, we invite you to explore the Children’s Art Challenge and discover what captures your attention most:
Children in Rural Areas vs. Children in Urban Areas.

Enjoy the drawing of JANI, an Angolan teenager
Painting title: Mangroves as Fish Habitat
The complex root systems of mangroves provide habitat for a diversity of terrestrial and aquatic species. JANI presents a drawing of a mangrove tree in the sea and a fish living in its roots.
Imagine the vastness of the ocean, the mesmerizing dance of marine life, the resilient stories of indigenous communities, and the undying call to preserve this blue wonder. Now, picture the voices of our children echoing their sentiments, dreams, and hopes through art.
Eco-girl
For Fernanda Eco-girl means a girl without plastic.
She offers reusable pads because they are durable and eco-friendly and have a positive impact on the environment.
Reusable cloth pads can be washed and reused for several years, reducing the amount of waste produced.
Problem:
Ocean plastics are known to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species are affected by plastic pollution. Menstrual product waste is also a significant contributor to this plastic pollution that harms the ocean.
Microplastics are deadly when consumed by sea animals.
Both macro and microplastics are part of the majority of the sanitary pads that everyone uses. Regular single-use sanitary pads contain nearly 90% of plastics which would take 500-800 years to decompose and even when they do break down, they will just turn into microplastics.
"If the poor cannot come to education, education must reach them at the plough, in the factory, everywhere.”
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the fourth day of our Children's Art Challenge to drive the SDGs. Today we are with rural children!
Education is a critical agent in addressing the issue of climate change, it also has a hugely important role to play in driving the transition to a sustainable future.
Our children are sharing their inspirational creations about how to limit climate change. We invite school-aged children to unleash their creativity and envision a sustainable future through their art. Together, let's paint a brighter tomorrow for our planet.”
Our work targets children, youth and women around the world - the next generation of consumers and change-makers to show that sustainable living is easy, cool and fun.
There is so much people can do to make this day special at home.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Christmas celebrations this year have been subdued but that should not stop you from making this festival special for your friends and family. Here is a song from Rosy to share with you all.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Let's party to rejoice
