with what is a answer for in that i have. yeah the end so that i always ask why me why i have to suffer that much. emotional effects goalie everything in and that is my brain now i know that god had a plan for that little girl i worry is in vietnam. all on the highway one in 1972 i was in the wrong road the wrong place and the wrong time but right now i'm in the right time and the right way the right place i have a chance. to be a life and i have opportunity to give back. to

me i went through so much and i have a picture i can show them and i have a scar to show them. in my life is so true and so real so make them think yet that little girl can do it so i can do it too that is the answer i want to talk a little bit about you know how photos are used this kind of voters are used for good purposes and bad purposes when this iconic image made you sort of an anti-war symbol for the vietnamese government i haven't heard that you were prevented from going to school you simply had no time for it because you were always being interviewed and he had to go to events and show up to this official and or that official then do you think. well you are used as a propaganda tool did you feel that way or did or maybe a waiter on l.

is saying your role in a yeah that is really true i didn't live that pitcher. at that time because that really the more that pitcher get famous the world is cast my private life and i didn't like it at all but you know everyone have a choice to make and i make my decision that i am seeking freedom because i had no choice then but now i am canadian i have. freedom i have a choice so i can lay fs many years that picture same way that picture controlled me but now i have the choice i have a desire and. i want to.

you know i will every time i look that picture and i since i have the baby my 1st child thomas i hold that i hold my baby and i look at that picture my pitcher. i just is a really at that moment i realize that. as the mother how can i see my children suffer like that little girl and i wanted to protect them not only just my baby but the children around the world and saw the moment that picture it was really big impact it touched my heart and then the same time i have freedom and then i can make my choice to go back to work with that picture

and i can see that that picture if i realize that the picture is a powerful gift for me as a mother to do something my best to to protect the children around the world and for me that is a wonderful and i'm so thankful for for for that pitch is really impacted my life you you you've mentioned during this talk of ours that back then you know you hated everyone who had cost you so much suffering i remember . a read it somewhere a day in 99 a 6 you were approached by a united states veteran who said he coordinated this south vietnamese air strike which you were caught in and apologized to you know he later admitted that he had nothing to do with this attack and his confession was driven by emotion do you

believe the united states o.s.u. and the vietnamese apology for what happened. for me for me the scenes i working on my life i learned about forgiveness and the forgiveness not just at the moment on that day. but i contineu to learn as you know forgiveness every single day practicing and for me is this i never let anything from outside that affected my heart i don't remain peace and joy because i learned that the hard way that happen you know saw. the war and the people

in i couldn't control what they are doing or what they are talking about me or the system tons i can not control the cecum to answer but i can't control. how far so i think that is more happen and make everybody suffer but for me i do my best i don't thing anybody all me. but i i ope people because the love that is the love i can. chained. to the place. much better place to live and for me i focus on that yes you are doing fund raising for organizations that seek to protect children affected by wars i heard that n.g.o.s

often get to hear from donors that while the sources are limited even strained so want to pick the most urgent causes this i guess makes them compete for funds in a weird way where the more who are state talk about the more money they could get to your foundation ever run across an organization that would try to blow some issues out of proportion to get more funding no. not at all my foundation is not big enough to do that kind of fun racing my foundation to focus on very we have a mission we focus on children who are victims of war for example we view the school. we know dad education is
