A photograph of children at a hands-on craft activity indoors, seated cross-legged on a blue tarpaulin. Several boys in the foreground lean over a square of brown cardboard, shaping damp clay or mud into small mounds and figures with their fingers. A white plastic bucket of water sits at the lower left, and a small green sprig or plant cutting lies on the board. A boy in an orange t-shirt and brown shorts in the centre wears a white ID badge, and a boy in a cream shirt on the right works beside him. Behind them, more children in red, pink, orange and white clothes sit on the floor in the background, and a white wall with a lattice window is visible at the top.
