Major Earthquake Hits Haiti
Phodographer Carolyn Lane in Blanchard, Haiti April 2009
A devastating earthquake hit Haiti yesterday near Port-au-Prince, not far from where this school is located and these pictures were taken. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and this natural disaster will bring untold new challenges. Blanchard school has suffered damage and has major cracks. Let us remember the beautiful people, our island neighbors in Haiti and do what you can to help.

Handing out very first pictures is an incredible experience for phodographers and recipients alike. The amazement in seeing herself as the world sees her, is so readily apparent for this young girl. What a small gift of sharing that brings such tangible joy! Join Dog Meets World and experience it first hand.

Two of the most powerful words in the English language are “I AM”. The Dog Meets World project aims to promote self awareness and esteem by handing our personal photographs on-the-spot, a permanent reminder that “YOU ARE”. Here is this student’s first photograph of himself.

Here is Dog Meets World founder Carolyn Lane among the students of the Blanchard school. The children do not receive annual school photos that we are so accustomed to in the US. During this photo tour, we used three portable printers to give each student a beautiful full color 4×6 memorable school picture of themselves. The kids patiently waited for all the photos to be distributed and showed their endless delight!
