Andie Saunders proves that the mo can be rocked by the ladies as well!

Doc Op describes themselves as: “a global community of activists, NGOs, documentary film makers and enthusiasts built with the intention of turning global ideas and films into local action.”

The winners of the Movember contest won their very own copy of the One Week Job Documentary, and should receive their prize in the mail very soon.

Thanks for everyone who participated – we look forward to a fresh crop of Mo’s next Movember!

I remember not more than five years ago when Ian, Karen (Ian’s wife), and I started a travel blogging website – blogs seemed so foreign to most people.

When I explained the concept of having a travel blog to others, my first question would be, “Well, do you know what a ‘blog’ is?” Most people would say “No” and so I’d then have to explain the concept of blogs. Web + Log = Web Log = Blog.

Now they seem so commonplace that asking such a question may insult the other person, “Of course I know what a blog is!”

Blogging has hugely impacted my life over the past year with the start of the One Week Job project. There’s no way I would have been able to contact so many people, set up the different jobs, and then share my experience with countless others had it not been for the introduction of blogs.

How has it impacted you? Share your story and maybe win some free stuff – we all love free stuff!
