She looks adorable. I would love to speak to her. Her smile = everything.
Guinnessworldrecords.com can today reveal a sneak preview of the 57th edition of the world’s best-selling copyright book, Guinness World Records 2013, with these exclusive pictures and video of the world’s Shortest Man, Chandra Bahadur Dangi (54.6 cm), and the world’s Shortest Woman, Jyoti Amge (62.8 cm), who met for the first time for the production of the new book.
The historic moment was recorded earlier this year and is the first time in history the shortest male and female in the world have met. Each wore traditional outfits from their native countries and smiled and laughed throughout.
To add scale to the picture, the classic Guinness World Records book – which measures 1ft tall (30cm) – was placed in between them.
Marco Frigatti, Official Guinness World Records Adjudicator, who also took part in the shoot, said: “It was an extraordinary moment; they’re both such incredible individuals. Everyone knew this was a special moment, the atmosphere was magical.”
WIC-Kuwait organizes live video dialogues between Kuwaiti youth and American students in the United States to constructively discuss cultural similarities and differences.
Facilitators on both sides ensure an emotionally secure and positive space for participants to share their thoughts and question their perspectives.
The conversations are held every week at the AWARE Center in Surra.
MISSION:
To create dialogues about social and cultural issues that expand perspectives and invite greater understanding between people–locally and globally.
METHOD:
Using the Socratic Method and honest, open-ended questions, facilitators take an ideologically neutral position that allows participants from all groups to candidly excavate their personal stories, experiences, and views. This approach makes possible the meaningful and productive navigation of complex, contentious issues.
PHILOSOPHY:
The expression of one’s viewpoint on an issue is the beginning of an individual’s greater understanding and knowledge of that issue. And the experience of doing so in a group setting can create a synergy between participants that advances critical thinking, community, bridge building, and self-understanding.
