Iran CO is lucky to have you in this delicate time of history. all the best. Max

It was a pleasure to work with you and thank you for all your commitment not only to your technical area of expertise, but to the broader well-being of #TeamROSA. Wishing you all the best in your new posting to Iran. Stay safe and take care. All the very best, Noala

it was such an immense pleasure to work with you in ROSA. Thank you for all the brainstorming on strategies that could work for South Asia children and girls.

I do miss all the preps for DROPs meeting, Reps Huddles etc....

ooops how can i forget the buddy role you played when i was joining ROSA -:)... it made my settling in seamless (thanks!)

Iran is happy to have you.

All the best, Vero

Your leadership to SBC in the region has been marvelous. Your insights drawing from the best of the region and the global scenario were so helpful to me / us immensely in India. I remember you from our SBC network meeting in Delhi where you enthused us with all your inputs and suggestions.

Your benevolent presence will be missed much especially in this stormy time in our organization and with SBC becoming so shaky.

I am sure you will be a trailblazer in the Iran CO and make SBC a force to reckon with. Looking forward to remaining in touch- keep shining. Good luck , good energies

Knowing you as a dedicated and positive colleague with a friendly and calm attitude is a privilege and honour for me personally and professionally. A special thank - for being part of the AFG journey as we navigated through unique challenges here.

Your strategic guidance and all technical support to our cause and mandate have made a huge positive impact in this region. Your future team will certainly benefit from this.

Wishing you all the best in every next step and for your future. Stay safe, please!

It’s been a true pleasure working with you from the SBCC Summit to the monthly newsletter! I wish you all the best in your upcoming role in Iran, it sounds tailor-made for you!

Let’s keep in touch, and stay safe!

Great having you as a peer over the last years. Your assertiveness and determination to make things well done in adverse circumstances are admirable. Now, working with I Hear-you from LACR, makes you present us with as many of the legacies you leave from SBC. Wishing you my very best vibes in your life! Cassia

You are truly a very special person, and I learned a lot from you. It is not only your passion, innovations and ideas for your technical work that I admire, but also how much you cared for ROSA team and listened to colleagues using your SBC skills to make the office a better place. Thank you so much for everything. Wishing you all the best. Yuko

Bon courage in Iran. May calm (male) heads prevail so that you can do actual work for children. You're not going to be bored!

Stay safe,

It was a pleasure to work with you not only in your area of expertise but also as a member of Team ROSA Task Force. You've shown great leadership, fearlessness, voiced for staff well-being and also showed care and support towards ROSA colleagues.

You bring voltage, innovation, vision, and determination to the entire SBC network and beyond. I have always enjoyed working with you, even if on difficult things or navigating complicated dynamics. Maybe especially so. These last years would not have been half as much fun without you!

Big congratulations on your important and well-earned new role. I very much hope/expect we will find new ways to collaborate in this next exciting chapter.

Stay awesome!

It has been a pleasure working with you and many congratulations for your new assignment!

You will be deeply missed in the SBC network, but your strong contributions and legacy will continue.

Wishing you all the best and look forward to staying in touch.

Congratulations!

I'm so proud of you—it's wonderful to see more leadership seats filled by women! >_< Yay!

You have many roles and handle them all with grace. As your team, we've gained so much from your knowledge, care, and energy.

Life is a long journey, full of experiences and people who shape it. The time shared with you over the past two years has been truly enriching. Wishing you continued success, good health, and happiness ahead. :)

It was a true pleasure working with you. The region and all of us will miss you. You have been a true champion, a leader, and a friend. Your dedication and passion were inspiring to all of us. All the best in Iran.

I don't think words can do justice to describe your impact, not only for me but for our office and the region. You've shown us what leading with empathy, kindness, and heart can achieve, and that is a lesson I will keep with me forever. Thank you for pulling me back when I needed it and for motivating me when I needed it the most :)

Iran is lucky to have you. You'll thrive there just like you did everywhere else. Like I said before to you, with challenges come opportunities, and there is no one better to grasp and innovate with those than you!

Always here to support and share funny memes. Expect more now that I won't get to see/message you every day hehehe

All my prayers and best wishes,

Harim

It has been a pleasure collaborating on SBC for immunization. Thank you for being a champion in spearheading UNICEF's leadership in the area, being vocal about what is working and what isn't. We have sailed together through some complex issues be it FPPs or DSB conversations:). Your technical guidance, leadership and hands on support to ROSA country teams has been inspiring and amazing. I have so many memories from our spontaneous team chats to Geneva meeting where we advocated with Gavi for resources, the Hub Meeting etc. Thank you for your openness, for your positivity and we can do it attitude:)

Wishing you all the best for the new chapter in your life.

Warmest regards

It was too short!! Thanks so much for having been such an inspiration. I learned a lot just by watching you in action. Iran CO is lucky to get you, in particular in such challenging context. I am sure you will keep on making a huge difference for millions of children there. I hope our paths will cross again.

Warmest, Matt

It’s extremely hard to put into words what you meant to me. Your guidance and presence have a very special place in my heart. Your trust and support are unbelievable to me.  You’ve been so much more than a supervisor and a colleague.  You have been a mentor, a motivator, and a source of strength and inspiration, don’t forget VIP (Very Inspirational Person) of my life.

You saw potential in me and trusted me even when I doubted myself and your encouragement has helped me to grow & learn not only in my career but in personal level as well. I have learnt a lot just by watching how you lead & manage with humbleness and simplicity at the same time with confidence and a kind heart.

Saying goodbye is not easy at all especially to someone who has left such a deep and long-lasting impact. Your absence will be felt every moment.

Wishing you happiness and unlimited success which you fully deserve.

With lots of love and blessings,

Puja and family

Thank you very much for your technical support and sharping us in SBC. You will be missed very much. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and wish for the successful tenure in the new assignment.

All the very best in this next chapter!

Warmest congratulations and best wishes on your next move!

It has been a real pleasure working with you. I have always admired how you help us understand and improve our work in social norms change interventions - especially SBC programming to prevent child marriage. Your guidance and leadership have been truly appreciated.

Wishing you all the best, and hope to see you!

Since those weird COVID-19 times in WCAR, passing through Marrakesh, Nepal, and Geneva, things between us can only get better and better. You will not get rid of me so easily :)

Looking forward to hearing about this new exciting chapter.

See you very soon, as always.

Big Hug,

Mariana P

And just like that, it's one chapter wrapped and a new one starting! The time has flown from WCAR days to Niger then to SAR, and you have been an unwavering, champion for SBC at every step. You bring a special energy, and enthusiasm topped with professionalism and commitment to everything you do that just challenges and motivates everyone around you to bring their best. You exemplify what it means to be "all in!" and it is amazing how you juggle your time with all you do, family and still have time to connect on a personal level too. I look forward to seeing what you will do in this next journey, and you can count on many to have your back whenever you need us! It has been wonderful working together so far, and here's to more to come. Sending you all good vibes, prayers, and positive energy - onwards always! :-)

With lots of love and respect, always,

Rania

Infinite thanks, Dorina, for your trust, mentorship, support, and for inspiring me to give the best under any circumstance.

Your legacy is reflected everywhere in South Asia. Iran will realize immediately how lucky they are in having you.

I won't say bye, see you soon.

I appreciate your kindness and aspirations. It’s been lovely knowing you as a true humane, kind and compassionate leader - we love you!.
