A young Black male, wearing a blue head wrap, a tan hoodie with a Mickey Mouse graphic, dark pants, and blue sandals, carries a large, dark gray sack over his right shoulder. He walks on a dirt path in front of a building with a rusty corrugated metal roof and two green-shuttered windows. Tall green corn stalks are to his left, and green grass lines the path. The ground is uneven with puddles of water, suggesting recent rain. A stick with a piece of red and white plastic is held in his left hand. The scene appears to be in a rural or semi-rural area of Jos, Nigeria.

Her hair is styled in braids, and she appears to be looking in the same direction as the girl in the foreground.
