Kim Phuc, immortalized as the young girl in a famous photograph from the Vietnam War, captivated the crowd with her message of forgiveness at the Moncton Wesleyan Celebration Centre on Saturday evening.

“I believe all of us have a story to tell, but right now it’s my turn,” she said to warm laughter from the audience.

But the room fell completely silent as Phuc continued.

“Now, I will take you back to Vietnam. You will remember me as the little girl running from the napalm fire.”

Kim states: “I really want to encourage people to be a blessing, to just help others. Let’s help protect these children. Let’s give back hope so that these children can enjoy being children again, like your children and my children.”
