A young child stands on a sandy path in Dabawa, Nigeria. The child, wearing a red headscarf, a patterned dress with red, yellow, and green sections, and light blue sandals, holds a black plastic bag containing dark, crumpled items in their right hand. A long piece of pink fabric drapes from their left hand, reaching towards the ground. To the left, a textured concrete block wall casts a sharp shadow across the sandy ground. Scattered debris, including plastic wrappers and organic matter, is visible on the sand. The background features more sandy ground, sparse vegetation, and distant structures under a clear sky. Strong sunlight illuminates the scene, creating distinct shadows.
