Why Africa?

I wanted to share this with my blog followers today........When I first learned about my trip to Africa I did alot of research on the internet and this story below is one that touched my heart. I will NEVER forget this image and it is the exact reason why I want to help others less fortunate than myself. Read below.....and please continue to pray for me and my team when we depart in 3 days!!

Thanks

A vulture watches a starving child

The prize-winning image: A vulture watches a starving child in southern Sudan, March 1, 1993. 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.
