The Governor's Prayer Breakfast
is happy to announce that Phan Thi Kim Phuc will be our guest speaker for the 2024 Prayer Breakfast.
Phan Thị Kim Phúc, referred to informally as the girl in the picture and the napalm girl, is a South Vietnamese-born Canadian woman best known as the nine-year-old child depicted in the Pulitzer Prize–winning photograph, titled “The Terror of War”, taken at Trảng Bàng during the Vietnam War on June 8, 1972.
The image, taken for the Associated Press by a 21-year-old Vietnamese-American photographer named Nick Ut, shows her at nine years of age running naked on a road after being severely burned on her back by a South Vietnamese napalm attack.
She later founded the Kim Foundation International to provide aid to child victims of war.
