Ever want to give back when traveling in the world of need? Love to take photos? Then join Dog Meets World, the photo diplomacy project and help connect cultures through the power of photography. The ambitious mission of Dog Meets World (DMW) is to give all children/families in developing countries personal photographs, often for the first time. DMW seeks to change the way people see others and rather than simply taking pictures, to give them as well. You've got a digital camera, just add a portable printer and the stuffed Foto mascot dog and practice Take & Give Photography!

I am SO very excited to share with you one of my very favorite International Educators, Cynthia Engel, as part of our Profiles in International Education. I love to share the great work that is going on in international education, by speaking with incredible international educators. I first met Cynthia when she came to the University of Minnesota - and our friendship bloomed. I was amazed to find such a committed interculturalist, backed up with global experience and an avid desire to soak in all that she could.
One of the things we loved most about staying in one place while we were in Ireland was the chance to get to know our "neighborhood." While we were in Ireland last month, We stayed only 4 miles from Caherdaniel, home of "the Liberator" - Daniel O'Connell (1775-1847).
