Casey Gray is a deeply calculating artist, cutting every stencil to precision, and executing his vividly designed works with care. We've spent the better part of the past year getting to know both Gray and the work he produces. In that time, the artist has progressed from myriads of kaleidoscopic imagery to focused abstract works, filled with symbolism.

Speciose Niyokindi, a mother who once struggled to feed her children, testifies: 'Without credit, farming would have been impossible for my husband and me. We didn’t even have land to cultivate. Thanks to the microfinance loan and guidance from agronomists, we now have bountiful harvests and a brighter future.'
With their debt nearly repaid, Speciose and her family plan to expand into livestock farming. Her story is a testament to how financial inclusion can uplift communities.

Burundi is a low-income country, with 80% of its population working in agriculture. In 2019, a study by the National Bank of Burundi revealed a stark reality: only 2% of loans from microfinance institutions supported the agricultural sector. Recognising this gap, Cordaid launched the Rural Innovative Finance Development Support Project (PADFIR) to bridge the divide.
PADFIR has helped rural farmers access vital resources, transforming their lives and livelihoods by raising awareness, creating tailored financial products, and partnering with microfinance institutions.
One of PADFIR’s standout initiatives is the introduction of agri-finance using the Agriculture Credit Assessment Tool (A-CAT). This tool facilitates financing across the agricultural value chain, ensuring farmers receive the support they need for sustainable growth. As the project approaches its conclusion, the results are evident: countless families have gained financial independence and stability.
Marc Bancanamwo’s journey is a success story. With a loan of 1,133 euros, he harvested over 73 tons of potatoes, earning recognition as a seed multiplier in Mwaro province. 'Cordaid connected us with microfinance collaborators who provided funding and technical support,' Marc explains. 'The advice on planting calendars, seasonal best practices, and modern techniques was invaluable.'
Egide Kamaranyota oversees PADFIR’s microfinance initiatives and highlights the collaborative effort with 12 microfinance institutions. 'Together, we’ve developed financial products tailored to the rural sector. Awareness-raising has been central to our success,' he notes.
The Twitezimbere Financial Institution, a PADFIR partner, credits Cordaid’s support for their growth. 'Cordaid provided us with training, agricultural finance tools like A-CAT, and resources such as motorbikes and an agronomist to improve customer outreach and support in the field,' director Egide Nijebariko shared.
Despite the progress, challenges persist. Many microfinance institutions view agriculture as high-risk due to disrupting factors like climate change. Farmers, too, often hesitate to embrace credit. To address these barriers, PADFIR has introduced community-based rural microfinance and piloted agricultural micro-insurances, offering much-needed security for farmers.
Cordaid’s plans are ambitious yet grounded in the needs of rural communities. The organisation aims to make farmers more resilient by expanding access to credit, raising awareness, and training microfinance agents. The pilot phase of the micro-insurance initiative will also be extended to include more members and new partnerships will be welcomed to enhance the project’s impact.
Since 2019, Cordaid has promoted sustainable agri-food systems in Burundi, focusing on climate resilience and rural financing. Following its merger with ICCO in 2021, the organisation has broadened its scope to address systemic challenges in agriculture, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for rural farmers.

Out in the road, ready for the tow truck.
Someone shot all the way across the road in reverse, between two cars, up over the curb, and into the Innova Solutions building on Main St. in Ames, Iowa. Nobody was injured even though people were working a few feet away.

Many women are trying new things that seemed to be taboo for women back in the day. Hiking is one of those adventurous hobbies that only used to be for the men. Today women are enjoying much different and some dangerous outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, mountaineering and much more. Hiking is not only an excellent way to enjoy nature, but it also teaches you to overcome your internal doubts and trains your mind to reach a goal despite the challenging trails, blisters, and exhaustion.
For this project I went to several tram stops around Geneva and asked people that were waiting for the tram to get together for a group portrait. It's nice because these people are all waiting at the same place for the same thing and most likely would never really acknowledge each other.

La seguridad alimentaria como pilar fundamental en un nuevo escenario de paz y posconflicto fue el tema analizado este martes en el foro internacional Seguridad Alimentaria, "Un camino hacia la Paz", en el que reconocidas voces como las nobeles de Paz, Betty Williams (1976) y Tawakkol Karman (2011), ministros de región e instituciones del Estado, intercambiaron experiencias para el desarrollo social y fortalecer la gestión de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en todo el país con énfasis en el sector rural.
El foro fue presidido por el representante Regional para América Latina y el Caribe de FAO, Julio Antonio Berdegué Sacristán y el director general de Prosperidad Social, Nemesio Roys Garzón.
"Lo más importante es asegurarse que los niños no tengan hambre. Todo el tiempo que tengas hambre piensa en los niños de Etiopía y pregúntate cómo podemos ayudarlos", expresó Betty Williams, pacifista norte-irlandesa quien ha dedicado su vida a crear soluciones en la lucha contra las injusticias cometidas con los niños del mundo y galardonada con el Premio Nobel, junto con Mairead Maguire, por su liderazgo pacífico en el conflicto de Irlanda del Norte.
Así mismo, la periodista, política Tawakkol Karman, ganadora del Premio Nobel por la defensa de los derechos humanos, aseguró: "La mujer desempeña un papel fundamental en la reducción de la pobreza", explicó la activista y líder política yemení, llamada la "Mujer de Hierro" y la "Madre de la Revolución".
A su turno, el director general de Prosperidad Social, Nemesio Roys Garzón, manifestó: "La guerra en Colombia dejó pobreza. La pobreza dejó hambre. La lucha para alcanzar la seguridad alimentaria hay que hacerla ahora y hay que hacerla bien".
Por su parte Julio Antonio Berdegué Sacristán, representante Regional para América Latina y el Caribe, FAO aseguró: "Lo que Colombia está haciendo es garantizar a la población un aumento en el consumo. En un mundo donde el conflicto se agudiza, Colombia reduce la subalimentacion, gracias a esta nueva etapa".
El foro contó con la participación de diferentes actores, quienes sensibilizaron a los asistentes en torno al tema de la seguridad alimentaria y a su vez, mostraron cómo se pueden trabajar los proyectos a nivel político en las comunidades rurales, especialmente en la planificación para el desarrollo integral del territorio.

We here at Warholian consider Brett Amory a good friend, and an amazingly talented artist. We often say that Brett is "going to be in museums someday" or that he's "the next evolution of Edward Hopper", but none of that really matters. Brett is talented fine artist in his own right, and each and every painting he adds to his ever growing body of work is concieved and executed with precision. Watching Brett work in his studio, one can feel the magic of the moment. The energy in the air where pure artistic genius flows from the artist, through the brush, and onto the canvas. Historical moments in art, before art has yet to fully to recognize the artist.

Front. Had to get covered up in an envie.... I'm too impatient to wait a few days to post this after she might get it! :D Road Atlas MA.map, washi tape, OZ stamps, & stuff inside!
For the 300M Hurdles Race, one of the recall starters gets up into the stands so he can see what is what. In a previous meet, it seems that the recall starter (not this one), got stuck trying to squeeze under the railing at Edwards Stadium. So, one of the other recall starters was asking how his colleague got into the stands and if he needed help! This guy decided to re enact the difficulty the other recall starter had at the other meet. When his colleague standing next to him let him know that I had taken a picture ... he looked at me and said "you didn't take a picture of me doing that, did you?" Of course I gave him the bad news!
These are great guys. They do such a great job. All us track & field fans say "thank you" and we like that you have a sense of humor.
