Becca Cohen, a newly minted graduate of the University of Maryland in College Park heard about Dog Meets World through idealist.org. She described her interest by stating "When I was traveling in southern Africa last year as part of my study abroad time, it was incredible seeing how excited all the children would get when we took their pictures and let them see it on the digital screen. My friends and I had discussions about how these children probably didn't have pictures of themselves, and many might not even have had mirrors.

Recent college graduate Marti Johnson is spending a year of her life working for an orphanage in Kampala, Uganda. Recently suffering through her second bout of malaria, she is ever intrepid and committed to making a difference in the world. She undertook to practice Dog Meets World (DMW) with the level 6 students in her Project Perspectives class, a program she hopes to continue to develop.

Last year I (Dog Meets World founder, Carolyn Lane) visited with founders of Affordable Medicine for Africa (AMFA) in Kuilsrivier, near Cape Town, South Africa.

Professionals can spread the word about Dog Meets World at conferences....as occurred when American Michael Smith met Chinmoy Majumdar while attending a meeting in India. Chinmoy was introduced to the concept of affirming children in need by taking and printing out personal photographs. With "Foto", the stuffed dog mascot in hand and a printer supplied by his colleague, Chinmoy took the project to a rural impoverished school in Subash Colony, Lalbagh, West Bengal.
