On a train with the windows covered in graffiti. So at least can’t see all the graffiti along the tracks.

First Humanitarian Medals awarded. Anna Daniell, one of the first recipients, says it's a positive sign to honour humanitarian workers who respond to international disasters. https://t.co/ZN2IutCGWV
