This photo was taken Feb 28, 2001 by Tom Munnecke. She is holding her
1 kg premature daughter, torn between accepting free health care being
offered by a doctor to her right and her agitated husband to her left. Their
poverty and circumstances made them refuse the health care, and the baby
died that afternoon. Tom's 48 hour trip home after this event, churning the
question, "What is the simplest thing I can do to create maximum
humanitarian uplift?" lead to the formation of GivingSpace.
