Agony Of War: Picture Of A Vulture Waiting For A Malnourished Child To Die by dafman10(m): 4:23pm On Jun 19, 2016 |
THE VULTURE IS A PATIENT BIRD : This startling photograph is acknowledged as one of the most horrifying photographs shot ever since the camera was invented. Notice the vulture waïting for the child to die. This photo was shot in 1994 and won the Pulitzer Prize. The location is Sudan, outside a UN warehouse for storing food and grain received as humanitarian aid. Nobody knows what happened to the child. But Kevin Carter broke down mentally after taking this picture and ultimately committed suicide within 3 months of taking this picture. This is what Kevin Carter wrote in his diary which was recovered after his death: "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." Each one of us waste food just because we can afford to waste food. Despite all the technological advances made by man, it has not been possible to eliminate hunger. Hunger is not only caused by famine or failure of crops. It is also caused by war both internecine and external agressíon. Can we, after seeing this photograph take a pledge not to waste food ? Can we educate our children not to waste food ? Can we share this picture with our friends and acquaintances and take a pledge to spread awareness, beyond the four walls of our home about the existence of hunger Please share this picture and spread the message through whatever medium that is available to you. Please do not waste food in this blessed month ... or any other month for that matter. Source. UN

MoneyGreen: This is EXACTLY what we are telling these bitter, demon manipulated people who want to break Nigeria up. The forces that want to feed on the blood of Biafran children are laughing with glee everytime they hear it. Why not commit EVERYTHING to prayer instead? That one works EVERYTIME and in ways that are many times better than the intended and the benefits last loooong. |
