"Anything is Possible in Yemen" by Andrew Simon"
“ Some people know from an early age that they want to make a difference-to help the community, serve the less fortunate and dedicate their lives to a worthy cause. I, on the other hand, found my inspiration to serve others only recently, across the street from a Baskin Robbins in Sana'a, Yemen. ”

Encuentros de la Frontera: U.S.-Mexico Border Civic Engagement
Immigration is perhaps the single largest domestic challenge facing the both the U.S. and Mexico today. People die nearly every week on the border. Hostilities against immigrants in the U.S. are mounting. International relations are strained. This program, through which students will spend at least 10 days in Mexico, will provide DukeEngage students the opportunity to become informed about the issues related to the border and to understand what “comprehensive immigration reform” is as well as analysis of ideas of “amnesty.” The experience will be closely tied to the work of BorderLinks, a well-respected organization specifically designed to work with college students. Volunteer opportunities will range from work with ESL students to emergency first aid. Tangible outcomes of this project will likely consist of documentation projects and film footage that students will share through exhibits, forums, class presentations, independent studies and theses projects.
