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.

I found this picture whilst listening to the song Rape of the World by Tracy Chapman. Its an amazingly captivating photograph. Its a shame that we dont know what happened to this beautiful child.
I think its a great way to spread a really important message. Keep doing what your doing.
