I found these images in The National Archives when I was doing research
for another web site. I remember how moved I was by the pain and
sorrow that is evident in the eyes of the refugee children; to be so
young and to have such sad eyes. I wanted
this collage to convey the message that through The
Cross, someday all pain and suffering will be over - as it is
written in Revelation 21:4.
