Multi-color poster printed on white paper contains a photograph of a quilt with 33 quilt blocks on a purple background with a blue border. "Building Bonds of Friendship" is printed at top in large orange font. The largest quilt block at center shows people in two landscapes separated by a banner that reads "San Antonio Los Ranchos / Berkeley." The upper landscape, representing San Antonio Los Ranchos, shows a woman carrying a child on her back, a palm tree, and a man working in a field next to a large ear of corn. The Berkeley landscape shows a woman in a wheelchair holding a sign that says "Por la Paz", a pine tree, and a man at left holding tools over his head across the banner. Small text at bottom center reads: "The Berkeley Sister City Project and the people of Berkeley present this friendship quilt to the community of San Antonio los Ranchos, El Salvador, in celebration of their return from exile in Honduras. As the war continues to rage around them, we extend our friendship and support as our sister citizens rebuild their lives in their quest for peace." Contact information for the Berkeley Sister City Project is printed at bottom left and poster credits are printed at bottom right.
