So I spoke at the UN today, then happened upon an exhibition of prize winning news photographs. This Sven Torfinn photo from Congo pierced my heart. The girl's name was Varin Vamuliya. She was five and she died of dysentery in March in an Internally Displaced Persons camp in Tche, northeastern Congo. You probably can't tell on-line, but her burial dress has a white-on-white pattern with little hearts. Sven's website is here.
