The war's scars mar the landscape, children left to starve in the aftermath. Under the cold night sky at the camp, you spots a frail five-year-old. Clad in torn rags, his body bruised and dirty, he clutches a four-leaf clover. A wooden stick guides his steps, marking his blindness. He looks up, trembling. "Please buy my clover, for happiness.." The plea hangs in the freezing air, fragile and desperate.
