# They Did Not Forget Us poster, No. 65 (Quechua, USIS Lima)

A Quechua-language poster for the Peru-United States cooperative program to aid victims of the drought. A man in a poncho and hat stands in the foreground, looking toward a truck on a mountain road. The headline reads 'They did not forget us'. The tell is plain folks: an ordinary highland villager is the figure through whom the aid program is presented as attentive to rural people.
