As to what happened to this child
I do not know

Did she survive the fangs of malnutrition ?
Does she now have a family of her own ?
Did she suffer the tyranny of the militia ?
Was she raped, abused or laundered ?

Perhaps she was adopted by a lonely rock star
or did she fall prey to the aimlessness of genocide ?
- with the hope of being let off lightly,
without the blessing of hands or feet.

As to what happened to this child
I do not know

All I know is this child was hungry
and I took her picture

... now answer me this question.

Being Happy does not mean everything is perfect
It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections

Unbelievably powerful image. It moves me deeply because I would prefer to see my counrties wealth being used here instead of toppling governments.

:( Can I adopt her? probably not... not a rich person. She is a very beautiful little girl - Maybe god realised that soon enough and made her an angel. :pray:

In olden times when wishing still helped one, there lived a king whose daughters were all beautiful, but the youngest was so beautiful that the sun itself, which has seen so much, was astonished whenever it shone on her face.
