I have kept this photo in my e-mail for 2 years now. I look at it every now and again to remind me of how lucky I really am..... No matter what hardships I face, it is nothing compared to the sufferings of the child in the photo.
The writing below the pic basically says: This PHOTO is the 'Pulitzer Prize' winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The pic decipts a famine stricken child crawling towards an UN food camp, located a kilometer away.
The vulture is waiting for the child to die so it can eat it. This pic shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photo was taken.
Three months later he commited suicide due to depression.
This was found in his diary ,
Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.
I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.
Please don't break.. keep on forwarding to our friends On this good day.. Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere any place around the globe and send this friendly reminder to others Think & look at this...when you complain about your food and the food we wasted daily....... ..
