"Blessed are the innocent.. and blessed are the prayers of our children.. "
This young boy in his best school shirt, prepares for his day in prayer with and for his HIV positive mother. I met their humble, warm-hearted family while on assignment in Ethiopia for respected NGO, Food for the Hungry, while shooting a Day in the Life – with their mother who was suffering through the pains of HIV/AIDS. Thankfully the medicine she received under the loving eyes of volunteers, enables her to live a full life caring and tending her family, with the love only a mother can give. Many of us seem to know someone in pain these days as there never seems to be a shortage of suffering in our midst – so this young boys un-staged image.. his innocence.. his silent prayer – touched me tonight.
