World Press Photo of the Year: 1980 Mike Wells, United Kingdom. Karamoja district, Uganda, April 1980. Starving boy and a missionary. About the image Wells felt indignant that the same publication that sat on his picture for five months without publishing it, while people were dying, entered it into a competition. He was embarrassed to win as he never entered the competition himself, and was against winning prizes with pictures of people starving to death.
As a seminarian, I read somewhere “history repeats” and now as a missionary priest the above picture and text seems to be for me. Mike wells the missionary helped starving boy. Me a missionary priest from Nalgonda involved in same service, with me 220 partially starving for education.

Children starving in “India” (Nalgonda) In the midst of plenty? An appeal to the people of India and Nalgonda would make much sense. posting that well known pic to seek sympathy is cheap…situation in India is not that bad. raise fund locally, Are there real orphans in Nalginda?
