A disabled little girl, slumped in a chair, is carried along by two men. A woman walking with difficulty is helped along by two others. A young disabled girl, aged about 12 14, walks along with a cane beside her mother, who is carrying lots of things. Both look very happy.

People stand in the rain waiting and watching. Se
