"MAKE MY BABY'S DEATH MEAN SOMETHING."



I started to take this picture in Wad Kowli, Sudan, but put my camera down as I thought, "This is this mother's darkest moment and I just about intruded into it with a camera."

Her eyes locked with mine. She pulled the baby from her breast and held it up toward the camera.

I knew she wanted me to take the photo. Her eyes seemed to be saying,"Show the world what is happening--make my baby's death mean something."

I'll never forget the moment. It's one of the events that led to our founding Children's Cup International Relief
