The ceasefire offers a glimmer of hope for a future free from violence. I pray we can work together to build a future where all children can grow up in safety and dignity, and where peace can truly take root. In the meantime, there is a long and challenging journey ahead, rebuilding homes, infrastructure, and shattered lives across the region. Lifesaving aid must finally be able to reach those who need it, who have experienced unimaginable horror during the months of conflict and separation. They must be allowed to start down the long road to rebuild hope for their futures. Our reaction in full: https://lnkd.in/ewKPXuD8

"I couldn’t speak, so I let my work speak for me," gestures 24-year-old Shofika Bibi, a young woman from Camp 13 in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Born with a speech disability, her life has been shaped by resilience and determination. Forced to flee Myanmar at just 16, Shofika’s journey as a refugee brought immense challenges. Her disability amplified her vulnerability during displacement, and life in the crowded refugee camp confined her opportunities. Despite her family’s love and care, Shofika longed to prove her worth beyond her limitations. Everything changed when she joined an income-generating activity (IGA) training through World Vision Bangladesh’s "Joining Forces for Child Protection in Emergencies" project. Initially met with rejection by other participants, she persevered, turning her craft into her voice. Today, Shofika leads the same group, earning respect for her exceptional skills and unshakeable determination.Her intricate embroidery, once a solitary comfort, now serves as a symbol of her potential. "One day, I wish to be an instructor of sewing," she shares through gestures, her hands crafting not just fabric but a narrative of empowerment. Supported by World Vision and the German Foreign Affairs Office, Shofika’s story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of opportunity. She continues to stitch a brighter future for herself, breaking barriers with every thread and inspiring her community to see beyond her disability. #TransformationTuesday #WorldVisionBangladesh #HopeInAction

Empowering Cocoa Farmers for a Sustainable Future World Vision’s ANCP Climate Smart and Inclusive Cocoa Project in Usino District, Madang Province, has equipped 90 leader farmers with essential tools, including shirts, hand gloves, gumboots, raincoats, and sleeping bags, to enhance their support for registered farmer backyard nurseries and cocoa block setups. Since 2021, these farmers have been trained to spread climate-smart practices and integrated pest and disease management to over 2,600 smallholder cocoa farmers across 21 wards over the next 18 months. Each farmer will plant 300 clonal trees to kickstart their cocoa agribusiness ventures. Local leaders such as Ward 14 Councilor Jethro Banamaken and Ward 13 Councilor Peter Mamuri have voiced their support for the project, alongside Chairman Henry Daniel, a visionary leader, who sees cocoa as “gold for the future,” bringing prosperity to all farmers. Roy Mukia, a registered farmer, expressed his excitement about helping village farmers earn income from cocoa, contributing to the cooperative's success. "This gear will help me to reach more farmers, share knowledge, and manage our cocoa blocks and land responsibly for the environment and the community." This initiative is part of the Australian NGO-Cooperation Program (ANCP), supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs, to strengthen the resilience of rural households and build an inclusive cocoa value chain. The project concludes in June 2026. #CocoaForTheFuture #ClimateSmartCocoa #InclusiveAgribusiness

So Facebook reminded me I went skydiving ten years ago. I wasn't seeking thrills, a sense of freedom, or anything like that. I went because I thought it was a cool way to confront my niggling fear of heights. I remember moving to the edge of the open door of the airplane at 14,000 feet, then freezing. And starting to think about how to negotiate a refund for cancelling, when the instructor shoved me out. 😄 The picture below was taken before the main chute opened. The rushing air contorted my face and filled my nasal cavity, making it hard to breathe. I think it also enlarged my nose permanently. The funny thing about fear is that it shrinks once you step through it. That skydiving experience taught me that what lies on the other side of terror can be bliss and serenity. It reminded me of the importance of "professional skydiving" from time to time - taking calculated risks and embracing uncomfortable growth opportunities. That project you've been avoiding, that difficult conversation you need to have, or that position you think you're not quite ready for? They're all just different versions of that airplane door. I’m curious — What’s a fear you’ve faced, and what did you learn from it? #PersonalDevelopment #Leadership #FacingFears
