Eid Celebrations 🌙 Offices worldwide wished each other a happy and peaceful Eid filled with cherished moments and heartfelt connections. Celebrations included lunches and snacks, charity donations, and community gatherings. Salad Day 🥗 World Health Day turned into Salad Day for Expedians in Prague and Paris.
