Paparrazi
David Fausch, photographed here outside of his classroom window, is caught yelling at small children. Some feel this is inappropriate behavior displayed by a school professional. Over the past couple of months, the previously cheery and fun-loving Fausch seems to be getting grumpier and meaner everyday. Our source and close-friend of David expresses his concern. "(David) used to be the life of the party. Especially in class! Working with kids was his passion in life. I don't know what is happening to him." Is Fausch's extensive teaching career finally coming to an end? When asked about this David had no comment. Whether it's the winter-blues or a low income that is influencing his bad moods, it is obvious that he needs to pull himself together or he will risk losing his job.
While out to lunch, Mimi and Allie are spotted chatting and gossiping. This duo turned heads today at Vapiono's in the Hague. For months they have been fighting and filling the tabloids with their heated arguments. Could this be a reconciliatory meal? What is more interesting is what Allie is saying to Mimi that shocked her so much. Our sources tell us that Allie has life-changing news that she has been keeping secret for weeks. Allie could not be contacted, but when we asked Mimi about Allie's dirty little secret, she replied, "I guess you will just have to wait and find out," as a huge smile spread across her face. From here, it is only speculation. Is she pregnant? New boyfriend? Is she moving? Starring in a new upcoming movie? No news as to what this "secret" might be has leaked yet. But the public is waiting patiently...

My Photos - Save The Children

Universal Education #1
Education is what leads the world today. In this photograph, I want to show that every child has the chance to earn his or her education and take their place in leading the world to make it a better place. The children are our future and they each deserve that chance.

Universal Education #2
School is a place that children should feel excited about. Children have a right to a safe, fun, and fulfilling education. I believe that every child should have the privilege to wake up every morning excited about going to school, and going to a place where they can learn and thrive. This was the belief that inspired this photograph.

Universal Education #3
Two minds are better one. When children work together, they share ideas and that is what makes education universal. The sharing of knowledge makes learning different cultures, beliefs, ideas and opinions possible.

“Abbie, would you mind going to the Sahel for 3 weeks to hang out with elephants and Tuareg warriors? Oh and you can’t wash or the elephants will smell you. It shouldn’t be too hot, only 43 degrees in the shade and watch out for the camel spiders and scorpions….”
I chose this photo because I love the colors of it and the colors of the desert. It was taken of a herder caught in the middle of a sand storm. I think, though the situation is unfortunate, the wind and the visibility decrease caused by the sand makes the photo really nice and catches your eye. And the herder’s garments, which are being blown around by the wind, are really elegant.
