In the city of Gombe, Nigeria, three young boys are engaged in manual labor in an open drainage channel. The scene takes place on a dirt road adjacent to a fenced residential property. The drainage ditch, approximately two feet deep and three feet wide, is filled with reddish-brown soil and some stagnant water at the bottom. On the left, a boy wearing a striped long-sleeved shirt and dark pants stands on the edge of the road, facing away from the viewer, looking into the ditch. He has light-colored sandals on his feet. In the middle of the ditch, another boy in a green long-sleeved shirt and blue pants is actively working, digging into the soil with his hands or a small tool. He is bent over, focused on his task. To the right, a third boy, dressed in a dark blue tunic and striped pants, is also in the ditch. He is partially obscured by the edge of the ditch and appears to be holding a tool, possibly a shovel, as he works on the soil. Large piles of excavated reddish-brown soil are visible on the side of the road next to the drainage channel, indicating that the boys are clearing it out. The environment suggests a construction or maintenance activity related to the road and drainage system. In the background, a brick wall with a metal gate and two water tanks on top of a building are visible, suggesting the presence of a house or compound. A few small trees and green vegetation are scattered around the area. in Gombe, Nigeria
