Reception Robins enjoyed their visit from the micro pigs. They each had a chance to brush, stroke and walk the pigs.

The first week of the Foundation course was to experiment with new methods and new inspiration, to settle into the course easily. This Micro-Macro project is influenced by a microscopic photo of microorganisms, specifically disease cells. The interesting way in which they grow allowed a motif like repetition pattern to be created. We were given this repetitive aim as well as a specific colour chart we were limited to. This challenged the development of the mini project and made me see personally what Its like to be given a specific task and how to stick to it.

After working for a number of fashion designers in Damascus, Nazreen Safar set up her own fashion business in 2019 specialising in traditional bead work. At that time it was just her and one other person running the business. in 2021, Nazreen applied for a small grant from AKF to purchase some modern equipment to allow her to develop more sophisticated designs. As part of AKF’s Work and Enterprise programme in Syria, AKF provides grants to businesses which have the potential to grow and create jobs. In 2022, Nazreen received an additional grant which she blended with a loan from AKDN’s First Micro-finance Bank in order to solarise her business which, like much of Syria, had been hampered by intermittent electricity supply. As a result, her business grew by 150% and she was able to hire more staff. Today, she has 15 employees, 9 full time and 6 part time to keep with demand. Nazreen sells to customers across Syria and Lebanon typically for celebratory moments like engagements, weddings and parties. Seen here, one of Nazreen's creations.

I placed the stock in the sled and placed the stop block so as the other end of the stock hits the saw. Then I transfered the feeler gauge to push the stock more into the blade! A micro adjustment.
As part of its Work and Enterprise programme in Syria, AKF supports a number of small businesses so that they can better weather the shocks of Syria’s economic crisis. The business - established by Fouad Alkhatib - manufactures decorations and insulation made out of polystyrene boards for restaurants, hotels and other business. In 2021, Fouad was awarded a small grant from to purchase an air compressor to increase the productivity of his business. In 2022, using another grant from AKF and a loan, Fouad was able to install a solar energy system. Previously, his business would only receive 2 hours of electricity a day so he would need to use expensive diesel generators to keep the business running. Now he has access to electricity all day long. Consequently, he has been able to hire 18 people and run two shifts a day to keep up with demand. His profits have grown from $85 a month in 2021 to $375 a month in 2023.
