Drawing2811/99

Children's drawing on legal size off-white paper. An inscription in pencil along the top of the page reads "Martes 18 de Octubre del 83 - Asignatura Estudios Sociales Tema Dibujo". Below this is a large pink house with a black and blue roof. There are two flowers in front of the house, and to the right of the structure is an orange truck on a yellow road. To the far right, beside the truck, are the words "En El Salvador". A yellow path leads down from the house to a rectangular object delineated in blue ink and filled with blue dashes. This blue object likely represents a river. There are three human figures floating in the river, and four human figures are standing on the upper bank of the river. Three of these standing figures in blue ink are carrying round objects on their heads. The words "El Salvador" have been written near these figures, above the water, and the word "Honduras" has been written below the water. A second path outlined in pencil leads away from the river to the right side of the page, and this path is lined with three green trees.
