The scene is set on an uneven, light brown ground surface adjacent to a textured, discolored light grey wall in Jushi, Nigeria. Five young children are present, all positioned downwards and focused on the ground directly in front of them. A child wearing a light brown long-sleeved tunic over a white garment kneels towards the center-left. A white sheet of paper and a thin stick are on the ground near their right hand. Light-colored sandals are visible on their feet. Behind this child, another child wearing a white and black top is partially visible. To the right, a third child in a light-colored long-sleeved garment is positioned, also looking down. In the foreground-right, a fourth child kneels, dressed in a patterned long-sleeved shirt (teal, brown, black) and dark blue jeans, holding a small dark object in their right hand; this child is barefoot. Closest to the viewer, a fifth child sits or kneels with their back to the camera, wearing a blue, orange, and white patterned dress and a black head covering with red embellishments; one bare foot is visible. Small, fragmented pieces of white and dark debris are scattered on the ground, particularly near the child in jeans.
