Drawings from the Children of Darfur
This series of drawings are the result of an impromptu gesture by Dr. Jerry Ehrlich, a New Jersey pediatrician who worked with Doctors Without Borders in Darfur. Dr. Ehrlich gave the children he worked with paper and crayons and asked them to draw their life. These drawings were collected and consequently, give us an unforgettable glimpse into the lives of these children in western Sudan. Some pictures depict flowers, sunshine and a tranquil village life, while others graphically portray scenes of bloodshed, bombings, and horror, with the directness and honesty as seen through a child's eyes. These drawings have been exhibited in many North American cities and are presently on loan courtesy of the Darfur Alert Coalition.
