Artist commentary: Water was in short supply so it was a welcoming sight when it rains. Instead of running for shelter the kids take out the soap and take a cool rain shower. While many of the kids were clueless to the hopelessness situation of the refugee camps, many of the adults simply gave up hope of a normal life. Funerals were a daily event. Being sick was the rule.
