During the last 4 years it has hardly rained in my city, the city of Mexico. Each passing year without rain the city was more like a desert and there were fires in the hills.

In 2014 the phenomenon La Niña came, bringing heavy rains. While some people in my country curse the rain, I say: “Give thanks and see how the trees, hills and lakes, which used to reflect a lack of rain, are now green, have plenty of water and are full of life.” That’s why I say: “Rain: hope for an almost desert-like city.”
