The shadows of children walking hand in hand are seen on a tent at a temporary refuge
The shadows of children walking hand in hand are seen on a tent at a temporary refuge camp for earthquake survivors, early morning in Fraijanes January 14, 2009. The final death toll in Costa Rica from a 6.1 magnitude earthquake last week will likely rise to around 40 after an emergency official on Monday scaled back the number of people missing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Juan Carlos Ulate, the shadows of children walking hand in hand are cast upon a tent at a temporary refuge camp for earthquake survivors. The image was taken early morning in Fraijanes on January 14,2009, following a devastating 6.1 magnitude earthquake that struck Costa Rica. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity displayed by these young survivors amidst unimaginable hardship. As their silhouettes intertwine against the fabric of the tent, it symbolizes their unwavering support for one another during this time of crisis. The aftermath of such a catastrophic event is evident in every corner of the frame - from the makeshift shelter to the somber expressions etched on their faces. Yet, within this scene lies hope and determination; an unbreakable spirit that refuses to be shattered by tragedy. It is important to note that while this particular image captures just one moment in time, it represents countless stories unfolding across Costa Rica during those dark days. The final death toll was projected to rise to approximately 40 individuals as search efforts continued. Through his lens, Ulate not only documents history but also sheds light on human strength and compassion even amidst chaos. This photograph stands as a testament to both our fragility and our ability to find solace in each other's presence when faced with adversity.
