Three young boys stand on a reddish-brown dirt path in Egbedi, Nigeria, under direct sunlight, casting distinct shadows. The leftmost boy, dressed in a dusty dark blue long-sleeved top and trousers with black flip-flops, uses his left hand to touch a dark metal pole anchored to a concrete base. He holds the middle boy's left hand with his right and looks towards the right. The middle boy, wearing a dusty dark blue long-sleeved top and trousers with red Crocs-style sandals, holds a small, light-colored object in his right hand. He links his left hand with the leftmost boy's right hand and his right hand with the rightmost boy's left hand, also looking towards the right. The rightmost boy, dressed in a dusty light grey short-sleeved top and trousers with grey Crocs-style sandals, holds a long, green bamboo-like stick with a carved section near the top in his right hand. He faces away from the camera, towards a light beige sedan positioned to his right, with a visible arm of an occupant in the driver's seat. In the background, faded concrete buildings, metal gates, and distant rudimentary structures with metal roofs are visible, with hilly terrain further in the distance.
