please read this... got this as a forwarded mail... please read it... and say a lil prayer for the little one...

MAKES WHATEVER COMPLAINTS I HAVE NON-EXISTENT. Have a close look at both the photographs & read the messages below them. Its our moral duty to be concerned... towards humanity; to care...
The PHOTO shown is the "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.
This was found in his (Kevin Carter's) 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.

thank you for reading... pass this on to as many people as u possibly can... u may ask what for???

so that we can help and to do that, we first need to be aware of the suffering that is going on around the world today... when u feel down and sad, think about this picture, and then u'll see that whatever short-comings or bad luck or whatever u might call it that u might think u have is nothing in comparison with what tis little child went through... if he or she (for i do not noe the sex of the child) is still alive, i pray for him or her to be healthy and happy and if by any chance, he or she is not, i pray that his or her soul rests peaceful...

thank you...
