this photo was taken during some famine in africa - it was a child struggling to make its way to a food distribution depot about 1000 m away - as the link indicates, the photographer got an award for it, even though there was some sort of ethical controversy about just taking the photo and not offering assistance - sometime later the photographer committed suicide

Carter's winning photo shows a heart-breaking scene of a starving child collapsed on the ground, struggling to get to a food center during a famine in the Sudan in 1993. In the background, a vulture stalks the emaciated child.

Carter was part of a group of four fearless photojournalists known as the "Bang Bang Club" who traveled throughout South Africa capturing the atrocities committed during apartheid.

Haunted by the horrific images from Sudan, Carter committed suicide in 1994 soon after receiving the award.

that's why I need you...

 

No, you don't. Start doing charity work and you'll get the love back knowing you did something to make a difference for those who are oppressed like children. You can sponsor a kid, just make sure you check out the reputation of the charity.

 

This is the second pic that's burned into my mind. The first was of two children watching thier parents killed crying hysterically left orphans. I love children so much, i don't care whose it is or where they come from or what race they are.

thank you for rejecting me ... this emptiness from not knowing teared my heart away.
