"I too was a young woman. I used to be you."
Dar Al Ajaza Al Islamiya strikes gold for its Ramadan ad, projecting the past onto - literally - the face of the present to remind everyone that time is fleeting and no one can reverse it.

However, this being said, the Red Cross campaign is still ace in terms of psychology - maybe everyone needs to follow suit.
