The United Nations Interagency Framework Team for Preventive Action (FT) manages the joint global UN-EU project financed by the European Union's Instrument for Stability which brings together UN agencies and departments (DESA, DPA, PBSO, HABITAT, IOM, UNDP, and UNEP) to support countries to improve natural resource management for conflict prevention and peace building.

Sheriff deputies in South Florida replace a stolen bicycle for a teen who is still dealing with the death of his father. When Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Deputies Jose Claudio and James Murphy responded to a call about a stolen bicycle, they found the victim, 13-year-old Ernesto, wasn’t just upset about his bike being stolen. The teen was still grieving the loss of his father, who passed away in 2020.

Claudio and Murphy felt bad for Ernesto, so they went out and bought him a new bicycle with their own money and delivered it to the grateful teen at his home. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office posted a video on their Twitter account showing the deputies delivering the new bike to Ernesto. And this wasn’t some cheap bike either, it was a $1-thousand Monster Ripper 29” BMX bike.

Responses to the video have been positive with people praising the deputies for going above and beyond. Ernesto’s mother, Niuri Perez, also thanked the deputies and says that getting him a new bike would have been difficult for her. But more than that, she thanked them for the attention they gave her grieving son. “This was a beautiful action … we can never forget.”
