As a 2006 Fulbright Scholar to Kyrgyzstan, Prof. Fleming established close relationships at the International University of Kyrgyzstan. Returning in December 2009 he decided “How better to spread the ethos of Dog Meets World than to tell emerging leaders about the power of photography as a diplomatic and personal tool to building connections among the people of the world“. He gave a short lecture on NGOs, non-profits and DMW itself, and then gathered the group of English language students at the university’s main entrance for photographs. They retired to a classroom and watched their photos print out while he continued to explain the goals of DMW and how important humanitarian service is to our lives! See everyone posing with printer, photos, DMW concept paper (download at bottom of this webpage) and Foto in hand. What a great lesson.
