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 "En el rio lempa los soldados hicieron una masacre y mataron muchos ninos hancianos y mujeres nos quemaron las casas donde viviamos. Como viviamos en el salvador vivia mas contentos muy felises en el rio lempa". An undulating band coloured grey, pink, and turquoise crosses the top of the page horizontally. This represents a river. Above the river is a pink and red tree, as well as a multicoloured helicopter. To the right of the helicopter an inscription reads "Jose Luis Ribera". Below the river, a red and yellow path leads from the river to the bottom of the page. A small human figure drawn with pink ink stands on the left side of this path and a large human figure drawn with red and yellow crayon stands on the right side of this path. 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."
