It is kindling the emotions of the ones who've lost their leg, more than appealing to the public in support of them. Empathy and sympathy are two critical appraoches. Sympathy is a bad choice here.

It comes just like that!

I totally disagree. This ad touched me at first glance

Don't you feel empathy instead of sympathy would have worked better?

Don't you guys think the photoshopping of the sawn off leg is a bit freaky?

It's not very moving. I've seen much better stuff for landmines before.

I think it works.

Showing what happens when you lose something, and the things that you can no longer do are clear.

Another scam idea for landmines, and not a very good one at that.

Hi guys,

Do you know when this ad was made ?
I'm working for a NGO in the same field, so it's cool if someone can help me with this.
Bye
