Description These 14 and 15 years old mobilized students jumped into the river seeking water and were carried away by the current. All of the boys were burnt from their ears and below, floating face down, their bowl-style hair cuts somehow remained pristine. Conversely, the girls were washed down the river face up. Our hands clasped involuntarily in prayer.
