After the argument I had with Alex and Simon it really hit me what a horrible and outrageous thing I had done. This in tier time I have lived and told a lie about what really happened in Rwanda that day, I lived thinking what I had done was right when really I have hidden away from the truth this whole time when in fact what Simon said was right.
I had been dropped in a small village in Rwanda and had started to explore the area. As scouted the area I heard some screaming coming from inside a church so I went in to investigate. The church was full of dead bodies. It was the worst thing I had ever witnessed. But there in amongst the bodies sat a young boy and baby girl and as horrible as it is I new that it would make a good shot. And the thing that makes what I did so despicable is that I set up that photo, I made what was a tragedy into a peace of art. And right there and then I new that I couldn’t just let these children stay here and suffer, but then I look in that boys eyes and I could tell that he saw what I did, I new that he had witnessed the truth and for that reason left him their and took his sister to be raised as my own.
