Description
Thanks for Giving
I was not going to do a write-up about this post, and let the image do the talking;
However, I felt there was more to say than just the art!
In this World there are a multitude of children going hungry everyday, many to the point of death by starvation.
After seeing a video done by "Convoy of Hope" I was touched seeing the conditions these children go through, and felt the urge to give. I went to several site that help feed the World to evaluate their Mission and History. What I found were comments that were worse than seeing the starving children. Comments that for some reason the person posting them felt were a justification for not giving.
Such As:
Why give, the Country's Government is corrupt, and have the moneys to help their own.
Why give, The foundations that ask for help keep the moneys for themselves.
Sure there is some truth to these statements, but the children do not know of such things; The children only know their stomachs are empty, and all they feel is the pain and anguish because of it.
If you give, you are the ray of hope that will fill their bowls.
If you find excuses to not give, remember Matthew 25:40;
and best quoted by TallPockets: "How you treat the LEAST among US is ALSO how you treat ME".
For me, I say, "The Love You Give, is equal to the Love you get!". I Pray you get some!

too long no see.. all ok hope 2011 will be good for you
A very true and deep message, my friend!
Very nice illustration of this problem.
Beautifully done Dennis, and very well said. If one does the research, one can find places to make donations that direct most of the money to what it is they claim to do. There are other things one can do too, if one does not have the funds.. one can donate time at local shelters, soup kitchens, food pantries, or even local animal shelters.
Beautiful posing and lighting
Fantastic!
Very emotional Dennis, the world is a sad place.
Hey Dennis!!!!! You've created such a touching image. xxx
wow I miss this one . yes you right about not giving. i give but to ones i know that will be responsible about the money you give. To the best of my understanding. This is a powerful image here.
Haven`t seen a lot of you just lately! This is a great image with loads of impact I use to work for Save the children in London So this has a certain special touch!
A very beautiful and powerful image Dennis, i also wish and pray for a better world....sorry for the late comment on this beautiful image...greetings Adrie.
Beautifully moving art work and words. Who could look at a child in need and not give?
Superb work!!!!!!****!!
Wonderful artwork but sad background...your message is clear and moving...Often the dilemma: Corrupt kleptocratic government and at the same time poverty and starving peoples, often the kids most vulnerable...
Beautiful and well done. Excellent.
Excelente trabajo muy bueno!!!!!
This is the most gorgeous image you have done here and such a true message. A very emotional work with these hungry children. It is always the children who are affected isn't it. This has a wonderful atmosphere and lighting too.
Thank you for this wonderful image and thought :)
Excellent shot, fantastic colors and details
Poignant and excellent work, Dennis. It hurts my heart to think of the children suffering so.
Very well done; love this!
This is just amazing, incredible work and symbolism, spectacular composition!*****
I AGREE with TallPockets above. The BEST work of the YEAR!
