I'm nervous about posting these.
They're tests, trials and first attempts at a series I'm doing for my school folio about insecurities.
Feedback is encouraged and very appreciated!

6 July 2015, Addis-Ababa – The State of Food Insecurity in Africa (SOFI 2015) was launched by H.E. Dr Mulatu Teshome, President of the Democratic and Federal Republic of Ethiopia at UNECA Conference Centre. The report confirmed a positive trend which has seen the number of hungry people decline regionally and with great changes within the Sub-region of Eastern Africa.

"Insecure is what I feel when I walk past strangers and can feel pairs of eyes dissecting every part of my image. Insecure is the feeling I naturally lean to when I attend parties or social gatherings with people I'm not too fond of, afraid of being unwelcome or unwanted. Insecure is what I became in high school-of my short height, feminine features, odd personality, and physical image. Insecure was what I was through my eyes because I was afraid of rejection from the world. I know that people will still judge and think things but I realized that it's about my own perception and attitude, and that I am happier this way anyway. No matter what I'm wearing I tell myself that I'm always in style when I'm wearing a smile."

Economic growth has slowed down considerably, unemployment is on the rise, and the ongoing insecurity hampers investment. All these provoke many of the talented and educated Afghans to migrate.
UNDP will work with businesses through its Support to Afghan Livelihoods and Mobility (SALAM) project and create sustainable job opportunities for young people at home, safe and legal ways to work abroad and send money home, entrepreneurial/vocational training and apprenticeships and work placements.

August 2019, Njoben, Central River Region in The Gambia. August 2019, Njoben, Central River Region in The Gambia. Oumie Jawara, FAO production assistant, helps the farmers at the garden implement the trainings they have received in climate smart agriculture. The FAO has been helping to expand the Farmer Field School in Njoben (Central River Region -CRR) since 2014, with funding from the EU. The field has been extended from one hectare to five hectares. Today, the various crops grown here: tomatoes, orange fleshed sweet potato, herbs, peppers, cassava, cabbage, okra, rice and many other nutritious foods are grown and consumed by more than 200 women and 14 men, and their families, from the local community. The surplus is sold, and this allows many of the families to improve their livelihoods and send their children to school. Another noteworthy improvement is the comprehensive borehole and water distribution system that has been established, thereby relieving almost 500 women farmers from the hardship of drawing water from the wells.
The community has been trained on gardening and helped agricultural extension workers to introduce more varieties of vegetables and apply climate smart agriculture. Similar support has been expanded to seven other community gardens throughout the country. This component is part of the “Post-crisis response to food and nutritious insecurity in The Gambia” (Project code: GM/FED/38780)
Daughter of Toryalay Jaffary, a deportee from Germany.
Toryalay shares his story, “I saw so many problems on my way to Europe. I remember that the traffickers drove 18 people in a Pajero [an SUV]. You can hardly believe. One of us was almost dying and we shouted out to the driver to stop the car, but he didn’t listen to us at all. He increased the volume of music and drove even more crazily. Traffickers don't care about anyone’s life.”

Everyone has insecurities. And everyone thinks something about them could be improved. What people don’t always know is that there is no wrong way to have a body. Our bodies are precious gifts given to us and they should be treasured. They should not be hated and put down. We were created in a perfect image and we should love what we were given. We should have self-love and conquer the fear of our bodies.
The photos in my series are showing the insecurities that people have and how when people see them they don’t seem like insecurities. It’s showing how we should realize that our insecurities are actually beautiful and unique and should never be changed. Throughout my series, there are photos of different body parts. The body parts give unique shape and in some of the photos the body parts give interesting line and texture. In my first photo, the position of the hands and face shows how she is insecure about herself and wants to change. However, the viewers see a beautiful woman. The second photo is showing how a girl wants to become skinnier. The shape of her hands on her stomach helps to create an intense mood of disappointment, showing her want to change, even though what we see is a girl who is already skinny. The third, fourth, and fifth picture have a lot of interesting shape in them. The shape of the figure shows the unique features of the body parts. It also really enhances the beauty of these body parts, which are usually insecurities. Overall, my series uses shape, texture, and lines to enhance the body and show how they are beautiful and unique.

A Somali refugee woman prepares food in an UNHCR's Reception Centre in Dollo Ado, Ethiopia. ; Worsening drought, and violence from armed extremist group al Shabaab, has caused more than 5,000 Somalis to seek refuge in Ethiopia so far this year – four times the number that crossed the border in 2018. The extremists have struck fear into the hearts of many and the climate emergency has fuelled a cycle of vulnerability for pastoralists and farmers. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, more than 2 million people are at risk of severe hunger as Somalia faces its worst harvest since the 2011 famine that internally displaced 1.5 million people. With al Shabaab extorting money, forcing residents to grow crops that fail and forcibly recruiting child soldiers, families increasingly have no choice but to flee.

Feeling rather insecure about her position as top wispy raven...Bronte decided the only way to settle this was a photoshoot off ... teh heh
I'll never tell you, so you'll never know
Night before last, my dreams brought me low
Somehow I found you went away
Even as you said, you would stay
Coming to sense, I tossed and I turned
Ultimately thinking, my love to be spurned
Returning from trip, I worry and fret
If there'll be a girl, we've not met
This future I fear, as we both mature
You make me feel, oh so insecure

The Inter-Communal Dialogue and Conflict Mediation project in Jos started in January 2013. From January to July 2013, HD has held consultative meetings with five community groups namely the Afizere, Anaguta, Berom, Hausa and Fulani; Religious leaders; Federal and State Government and women and youth groups on the proposed project, as well as sought buy in for the proposed process.
The project, supported by the Canadian Government, has been geared towards achieving an agreement between the communities to end the dispute in Jos, and foster inter-communal co-operation leading to fewer incidents of violence. The Inter-communal dialogue and conflict mediation process itself, ‘The Jos Forum’, was launched in August 2013, with a formal opening ceremony attended by numerous members of the five communities, Federal and State Government officials, Religious leaders, women and youth groups, as well as civil society representatives.
HD successfully hosted seven dialogue sessions on various issues, including interim sessions to deal with the emerging tensions in Jos countryside.
