Daily Foto: Tenderness in Guatemala
Phodographer Patti Hughes in Zunil, Guatemala, July 2009
Audrey Hepburn once said “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” Dog Meets World aims to preserve the good in others, as all the wonder in the eyes of this little one tenderly holding Foto was captured.
On her second trip to Guatemala in 2009 seeking inspiration for her company, Natural Life, Patti and coworkers again took time to practice Dog Meets World.
Daily Foto: Foto in the mist in Rwanda
Phodographer David Lee near Lake Kivu, Rwanda, March 2010
Travel blogger Dave of Go Backpacking took Foto and a little printer. He said “In my past travels, I’ve taken lots of photos of kids and adults alike, and have seen how much they enjoy seeing themselves in the display of my digital camera. I think it’s a great idea to be in a position to offer them a photo they can hold onto and I enjoyed the experience with Dog Meets World in Rwanda.”

Dog Meets World believes that each single shared photograph is an indelible affirmation that is left behind as a tiny seed of peace. Join the movement and give back on all your travels in the world of need.

Phodographer Ariane Kirtley in the Azawak region of Niger, West Africa, March 2010
Ariane Kirtley founded a project to bring clean water to a desperately needy area of Niger where 500,000 people live on the brink. She says “While conducting my work with Amman Imman (Water is Hope), I document everything I do with photos. I have always wanted to give back the photos I take, and have never before had the opportunity before now. Thank you, Dog Meets World, for giving me that opportunity. Little Foto was a big hit, and has become the mascot for Amman Imman as well!”
