And on that same day, thousands of miles away, a loved-up couple share a hug near the Quebra Canela beach in Cape Verde.
On the other side of the continent, a mother holds her son and removes dirt from his face in Turkana, north-west Kenya, on Friday...
The vast and dry, drought-prone land is on the front line of climate change... This man herds his animals in the area on the same day.
