Two young girls, identified as students by their uniforms, stand outdoors in Akwanga, Nigeria. The scene is characterized by dry, light brown earth. The girl on the left, with dark skin and braided hair, faces the viewer directly with a slight smile. She wears a green and white checkered blouse under a dark green pinafore-style dress. A black backpack with silver zippers is worn on her left shoulder. Her right hand holds a small, red, berry-like object. She stands to the immediate left of a weathered, vertical wooden pole, roughly hip-height for her. The girl on the right, also with dark skin and braided hair, stands partially obscured by the wooden pole. She wears an identical green and white checkered blouse and dark green pinafore dress. Her eyes are partially closed, and she has a subtle smile. Her right hand holds a pink, open-weave mesh bag with light blue drawstrings. She is positioned to the right of the wooden pole, with her left arm resting against it. A small white school badge with black text is visible on the pinafore of the right girl. The background consists of a dusty, uneven terrain with sparse vegetation and scattered debris. Directly behind the girls and to the left is a simple building with light brown walls and a corrugated metal roof, from which clothes are drying on a line. To the right and further back is an unfinished or dilapidated concrete block structure with two empty window openings and a single doorway. The sky is bright, indicating daylight.
