It's been a busy week at Mifos Initiative 2 major events, 2 continents and lots of work progressing #financialinclusion through #DPGs and #DPIs. Thanks to all from our community who travelled and participated in the #GlobalDPISummit25 and Interledger Foundation #ILFSummit25. We will have full write ups on the key takeaways next week as well as the result of the selfie challenge. But in the meantime as Edward Cable demonstrates with Victor Romero it's time to let the hair down a bit. #Community #Events Godfrey Kutumela #SelfieChallenge

We are pleased to welcome Dmitry Pankov to the Mifos Initiative team. Dmitry (Dima) will be joining Edward Cable and David Higgins for the year as our Business Intern. He will be interacting regularly with the community and partners in our ecosystem, as well as helping us with some exciting projects and a large project next summer. Here is Dima's Intro: Hello! My name is Dmitry Pankov, but I go by Dima. I was born in the United States, specifically West Seattle in the beautiful, green state of Washington; however, I come from a Russian background where I still have relatives living that I visit yearly and speak the language with. Some of my biggest hobbies are tennis, which I play at my university, and almost anything outdoors like skiing, hiking and backpacking. I’m currently in my second year at the University of Washington studying Finance and am extremely excited to work for Mifos Initiative as their mission aligns with many of my core values. Through many leadership opportunities in high school and early stages of my college career, I have always tried to make an impact within my local community, and when the opportunity arose with Mifos to continue my passion on a global scale, I had no hesitation in applying and wanting to be a part of such an amazing team. #community #interns #newteam #announcement

It was great that Yu Wati Nyi was able to be at FINOS #OSFFNY25 this week. She was able to first hand experience talks and network with others to build her network up. She even managed to meet our Selfie Challenge and grab one with Gabriele Columbro which just exemplifies the friendliness of the FINOS Community. Look out for Yu's blog on her experience shortly. #community #summerinterns #endlesssummerofcode
