Description : A boy hits a pi?ata doll, at a birthday party, in a refugee camp, in El Salvador. A pi?ata is a brightly colored paper container filled with candy, toys and so on. It is generally suspended on a rope from a tree branch or ceiling and is used during celebrations. A succession of blindfolded, stick wielding children tries to break the pi?ata to collect the sweets or toys inside it. It has been a traditional means of entertainment to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and Easter, in the South American countries.
