Self-Aggrandizing Much?
From The New York Times’ “Why We Travel: Readers’ Photos” feature comes this grand nugget of smug self-satisfaction. And people say I have a God complex…
Kampala, Uganda — I was making my way through one of the largest slums in Kampala when I came across this young boy. My three week trip to Kampala, Uganda had led my team and I here to deliver rice, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other necessities to a family in desperate need. In our haste, we had to pass the boy up the first time. I prayed the entire walk back that he would still be there, and sure enough, he was. He was still sitting right where we had left him, as if he were waiting on us to return. We were out of supplies, so we had nothing to give him. What this picture doesn’t show you is the massive smile he gave us as we left. To me, this picture represents the millions of children around the world who are waiting for someone like me to reach out to them. - Joshua Hamby
