Phodographer Julia Haney in El Salvador, summer 2010

Kids to Kids is a global youth-led program of World Connect committed to creating opportunities for kids everywhere to participate in arts, sports, education and environmental projects. They, like us believe that kids can, and DO, change the world.

Phodographers from Univ. Maryland near Sattlelite, Dominican Republic March 2011

Once again Dog Meets World was a huge success. A group from the University of Maryland Hillel did a spring break service project. The leader Marissa Neuman said “the students adored the project. We took pictures of over 100 students at a school we worked with. About 75 % of the children didn’t have photos of themselves. We also took some in the town where we were living, Sattlelite.”

Something so incredible about having your own photograph….but it’s also priceless to share with your friends to multiple the joy. Thank you to new phoDOGraphers Aliza, Ben, Allana, Scott, Jona, Jacob, Kara, Samantha and Allison for being photo diplomats!!
