Seven children sat in a clearing outside dome-shaped shelters in a clearing in the forest. The shelters are made from branches that are bent into arcs to form a framework that is covered with leaves, and some mats or sheets of bark or woven material have been placed on some of the roofs for extra covering. In the bottom left of the image one child is sat on a raised platform made of logs that is outside a shelter made of logs and with open sides. In the background at the centre metal vessels are visible just outside the entrance to a shelter, and a child is visible standing up inside the shelter.
