Description

Laminated children's drawing consisting of a piece of beige legal paper mounted on a piece of blue construction paper. The composition consists of a river scene wherein two green helicopters near the top of the page are shooting at human figures as they try to cross the water. The upper left contains an inscription in black ink "Cuando los pasabamos lempa buscando Refujio en Honduras los ametrallaban unos elicoctero y los mataron familiares". The word "Elicocteros" has been written in black ink in the upper right, above the two green helicopters. A blue band crosses the page horizontally, representing the river. Numerous human figures have been drawn in pencil along the upper bank of the river. The word "gente" has been written in black ink near these figures. The river is filled with floating human figures. Below the river, the words "Rio lempa" have been written, and an inscription in the lower left-hand corner reads "este dibujo es eho por Nora Alfaro su edades de 13 anos y bibe aquiem mesa grande". A narrow strip of word-processed text has been taped to the front, at the bottom of the page, and it reads "When we were crossing 'the Lempa' looking for a safe place in Honduras, helicopters were shooting on us. And they killed relatives."
