Around them, many children and young people in orange and saffron clothing sit on the floor, some with white or orange head coverings and beaded necklaces. A small wooden table with an orange cloth stands beside the speaker, with chairs and cabinets in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with white walls.
