Kim Phuc was nine years old in 1972 when she was pho- tographed run- ning naked down a road in Vietnam after being hit with napalm from an air attack. The picture earned photog- rapher Nick Ut a Pulitzer Prize and became one of the symbols of the Vietnam War, as well as one of the most famous ever taken. Although badly burned over half her body, Phuc survived and after 17 opera- tions she defect- ed to Canada. She now lives in Toronto and is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador spreading the message of rec- onciliation and peace. Phuc will speak at the Zurich Complex at7p.m. Tickets can be bought for $5 from Belongers and Selah Christian Books in Exeter as well Exeter Christian Reformed, Zurich Mennonite, Grand Bend United, Zurich Pentecostal, F a i t h Tabernacle and Exeter Baptist. Tickets will also be available at the door. Proceeds from the event will go to The Kim Foundation, which funds organizations that help child victims of war. Pastor Harry Frielink of Exeter Christian Reformed Church said Phuc has recent- ly felt called to speak through churches about the need for for- giveness. "As a pastor, you see how much that mes- sage is needed in marriages and family rela- tionships," said Kim Phuc, who was photographed during the Vietnam War running from an air attack in 1972, will speak in Zurich Aug.12.(photo/submitted) Frielink. "She really wants to bless a whole communi- ty with a mes- sage of forgive- ness."
