Perhaps I'm a little slow because the World Hunger Relief Week ended on 20th October. BUT, do you still see little donation boxes at the counters of restaurants such as KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, ...? If you do, please donate whatever spare cash you have for the people in Third World countries who are in dire need for food and water. And just in case you aren't convinced by that little 'Did You Know' box or you feel that this is just a fraud, let the picture below change your perception towards an unknown part of the world which is living in the darkness.

Some of you might have already seen this but for those who have not, let me enlighten you guys. This picture was taken by a photojournalist named Kevin Carter who decided to shorten his stay in South Africa to Sudan where civil wars and famine were prevalent then. There, he took this picture of a starving Sudanese girl who was desperately trying to make her way to a food relief camp whilst being stalked by a vulture. Fyi, vultures rarely attack healthy animals, but may kill the wounded or the sick. And so, the photojournalist chased away the vulture while the little girl continued the arduous journey towards the food relief camp. A few months after this photo won the Pulitzer Award, the photojournalist committed suicide having seen too many sufferings and no joy in life.

And it pains me to see that the other half of the world is worrying over children who are obese.
