PHOTOGRAPH - PULITZER PRIZE
by Lanis for everyone
He said: Dear God,
I pray that YOU 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.
Let's make a prayer for the suffering in anywhere anyplace 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....... .
About the picture:
" PULITZER PRIZE " winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine.
The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.
The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it. This picture 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 photograph was taken.
Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.

I got this off an email from Minie... Think it's an eye opener and a good reminder of how fortunate and lucky we truly are to be where we are in life JUST coz you CAN SEE THIS MESSAGE... That whatever our shit load in life is, we have it good anyway...
God be with you all...
