From the very first days of 2026, world news made a big impact.
Indeed, Several dramatic events unfolded in quick succession, as if to brutally remind us of the fragility of our equilibrium.
🔥 In Crans-Montana, a violent fire turned lives upside down in a matter of hours.
⚠️ At the same time, a military attack in Venezuela has reignited already extremely high international tensions.
🌎💥 In addition, a deadly earthquake in Mexico has left entire families homeless, disoriented, and in some cases without loved ones.
Thus, In just three days, the world has reminded us of a truth that we often prefer to forget: Everything can change in a matter of minutes... seconds.. ⏳
Security, stability and peace are never permanently guaranteed.
It is in this specific context that I wish to address solidarity wishes 2026 To everyone who visits this site. 💛
Contrary to Unlike the automatic messages exchanged out of habit, these wishes carry a clear intention: to invite awareness, responsibility, but above all humanity and to tolerance towards our fellow human beings. 🤝
🌪️ The beginning of 2026 marked by human fragility
First, The images were shocking.
Next, Emotion overwhelmed everyone.
Then, Very quickly, the news moved on to something else. 📺
🔥 In Crans-Montana, the flames destroyed buildings and left a lasting fear.
⚔️ In the same way, In Venezuela, armed violence has reawakened old fears and reinforced a climate of confrontation.
🌍 Finally, In Mexico, the earth shook, causing houses, schools and certainties to tremble.
📉📈 However, After a few days, the spotlight shifted. The markets resumed their course. The debates changed subject.
🕯️ However, for those affected, nothing has returned to normal.
These events remind us of an essential reality: human fragility is not abstract. It is concrete, brutal and sometimes irreversible.
From then on, The question is not just to observe, but to reflect on how we respond.
🍽️ World hunger: a silent, daily form of violence
Contrary to Unlike spectacular disasters, hunger acts in silence. 🤫
It does not cause explosions. It does not always make the headlines.
However, it destroys every day, slowly and steadily.
😔 Every day, children go to bed on an empty stomach.
😔 Furthermore, Families are wondering how to feed their loved ones.
😔 Consequently, Bodies weaken, minds become exhausted, and futures become fragile.
A hungry child cannot learn properly.
Thus, Hunger weakens the body and mind.
From then on, the future is compromised at a very early stage.
According to the World Food Programme, Millions of children still suffer from severe food insecurity, even though the planet produces enough to feed the entire human population.
⚖️ Thus, The issue is not one of resources, but rather of their distribution, our collective choices and our priorities.
🎓 Education and dignity: an inseparable struggle
Furthermore, Hunger is very often accompanied by another major deprivation: access to education. 📚
Gold, School is not a luxury. It provides protection, structure and opportunity.
🚸 In many parts of the world, children do not attend school.
Sometimes, They start work too early.
In other cases, they live in unstable areas.
Finally, some simply have no educational establishments nearby.
📌 Without school, a child remains vulnerable.
📌 Consequently, he loses essential bearings.
📌 Furthermore, inequalities are becoming more entrenched.
📘 According to UNICEF (word to be made clickable to https://www.unicef.org/education), education remains one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty.
🫶 Tolerance towards our neighbours: a fundamental issue in 2026
However, the solidarity wishes 2026 do not only concern distant crises.
They also concern, and perhaps above all, the way we look at others, here and now.
💬 Too often, we are quick to judge.
💬 Very often, We criticise without knowing.
💬 Sometimes, we speak without understanding.
However, We cannot read other people's minds.
In fact, We know nothing about their history, their wounds, or their inner struggles. 🧠❤️
➡️ Behind a distant attitude, there is sometimes immense fatigue.
➡️ In the same way, Behind anger, there is sometimes an old fear.
➡️ Finally, Behind silence, there is sometimes profound loneliness.
👉 Tolerance towards our neighbours begins here. : accept that we do not know everything.
It does not mean excusing everything, but refuse to judge blindly.
👤 Thus, In 2026, let us remember one essential fact: the person in front of you exists, with its history, its wounds and its limitations.
🕊️ Choosing tolerance in a world under constant tension
Tolerance does not mean giving up one's values.
On the other hand, it invites us to recognise human complexity. 🌿
✅ It allows you to slow down before judging.
✅ Furthermore, it encourages listening before reacting.
✅ Finally, it promotes inner peace in a tense environment.
In a world saturated with conflict, verbal abuse and social tensions, choosing tolerance requires courage.
However, This choice not only soothes our relationship with others, but also our relationship with ourselves.
🌈 From then on, preserving inner peace becomes a profoundly human act, but also a profoundly necessary one.
✨ Small gestures: an underestimated force
Contrary to popular belief, solidarity does not begin with grand gestures.
On the contrary, It often begins with simple, discreet, almost invisible gestures. 🧩
😊 A sincere smile can brighten up your day.
👂 Listening attentively can alleviate distress.
💬 A kind word can restore confidence.
Often, the people who seem most independent have had to forge ahead on their own.
They endured. They resisted. They learned to rely only on themselves. 🧗
Consequently, Reaching out to these people also makes sense.
Sometimes, they are the ones who need a human, non-judgmental perspective the most. 🤝
🤝 Helping Hands: taking concrete action despite the crises
At Helping Hands, Indifference has no place here.

🍽️ Our actions’food aid for children meet urgent and essential needs.

Every donation, every act of sharing, and every kind word contributes to a larger movement.
🌱 How to take concrete action in 2026
Many people think they do not have enough to help.
However, The impact often comes from consistency, not the amount. 💡
Here are some simple and accessible actions:
💶 Make a donation, even a modest one.
🔁 Share an action with those around you.
🏢 Discussing a charitable project with a company.
🤝 Propose a partnership or sponsorship.
⏱️ Donate your time or skills.
Consequently, Everyone can take action at their own level, without waiting for ideal conditions.
🧱 Resisting violence without losing one's humanity
Crises, conflicts and disasters can be shocking, exhausting and discouraging.
However, Closing yourself off does not protect you. ⚠️
🚫 If violence makes people indifferent, it wins.
🚫 In the same way, If fear cuts you off from others, it still wins.
🚫 Finally, If cynicism takes hold, it causes lasting damage.
✅ Resisting means remaining sensitive.
✅ Thus, Resisting means continuing to help.
✅ From then on, Resistance means refusing to be dehumanised.
🌟 2026: an invitation to open minds
These solidarity wishes 2026 carry a clear invitation:
👁️ To look at the world as it is, without averting one's gaze, while retaining the ability to act.

So, let us choose:
🌍 Awareness rather than oblivion
