We are lucky....Thanks God!!

This Pulitzer Price winner picture is photographed by Kevin Carter in 1994 during Sudan famine. A child is crawling on its way to a UNO sponsored food camp located about one km away. The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that……


 


This picture shocked the entire world; nobody knows what happened to the child including Kevin Carter, who left the place once photograph was taken.


 


After three months Kevin committed suicide. Following note was found from 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.
