Splashing Around with Ukrainian Kids at the World’s Most Gigantic Aquapark

The photographer Guillermo Cervera always looks to portray a hidden side of world conflicts that news outlets won’t immediately think to cover. For instance, when he was in Afghanistan a few years back, he took photos of the swimming pools and gyms in war-torn Kabul.

These days, Guillermo is in Ukraine, so he just sent us these heartwarming images of young Ukrainian boys and girls having a pretty good time at the local aquapark.
