Description

Laminated children's drawing consisting of a piece of beige legal paper mounted on a piece of blue construction paper. There is a rectangular piece of white paper on the back carrying an inscription in Spanish "Hago una denuncia a todos los pueblos del mundo las ingratitudes que los militares Salvadorenos estan haciendo con el sufrido pueblo Salvadoreno". The composition on the front is divided by a diagonal blue band running from the upper left to the lower right of the page. This band represents a river. There is also a diagonal multicoloured band running from a small house in the upper right down to the lower left. This band represents a path, and there are twelve human figures on this path. In the upper left, on the edge of the river, a soldier in green can be seen laying down and shooting at one of the figures on the path. To the right of this soldier is a magenta and green plant and a multicoloured helicopter. In the upper right, an inscription near the house reads "Luis Alonzo Leiba Leiba". A narrow strip of word-processed text has been taped to the front, at the bottom of the page, and it reads "In the Lempa River the soldiers made a massacre and killed many children, old people and women. They burned the places where we used to live." This is a translation of the ink inscription on white paper that has been affixed to the back of the blue paper.
