The picture as it was didn't get much response because white people are already used to the ritual of these shocking images combined with a call to donations. These donations haven't made a difference in decades.
I was just trying to use my design talent to reframe the issue as something positive. I think too often, self important white people don't see those living in Africa as equals. They see them as bums, lazy, crazy etc. This is a dangerous perception that designers need to fix. Instead of framing the issue as help and charity we should frame it as a struggle of a people to become prosperous. That's what we do here and can therefore relate to.
