The Dryness of Rwanda-Hands

The other healthy hand holds a small black and dry hand. That is a small black hand. You must look carefully to see that it is actually a child's hand. In contrast, a Ugandan child's hand was placed in the hand of a missionary. The child's hand looks like a thin bird's paw, or a fossil dug up from an archaeological area.

Since the 1980s, the African continent has been shrouded in the shadow of drought, and endless famine has pushed dark-skinned people to the embrace of death. In addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters, and relief materials cannot be delivered to the disaster area in time, further aggravating the disaster there. At first, everything here was unknown to the world.

Photographer Wells recalled: "The priest put the child's child in his own hands." I picked up the camera and took this photo immediately. I didn't think too much at that time. This hand is white ... Besides, I think this photo is vulgar, trite and repetitive. Anyway, this is not a great photo. The light is boring and the composition is boring ... but I think Uganda is very useful. The world doesn't know about the famine here. I'm glad that this photo has drawn people's attention to the scene here. "
