This is a "Pulitzer Prize" winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards a United Nations food camp 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 waht happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph qwas taken.
Three months later he committed suicide due to depression.
I hope this picture teaches us to appreciate the things that we have. We sometimes crave for so many things and yet we do not realize that we are all so lucky not having to experience this kind of poverty. We always have to think that we are still better off than some other person and for that alone we should be thankful.
He who labors diligently need never despair; for all things are accomplished by diligence and labor.

I like how u set up your blogger. The whole input were pretty good. I haven't got a chance to do mine. Hopefully soon. I was touched by that bone skin kid sitting right behind that vulture. That was the most disturbing n devastating thing to see. I'm just glad i'm still on this earth serving my purpose in life. Lucky to be alive and away from starvation. Overall, I think you did an amazing job in your blogger. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!muahhhhhhh*wink
