[A black and white photograph of four children standing in front of a light colored wall with a pattern-printed blanket. One child stands, while looking away from the camera in distress. The rest of the young people sit. Some of the sitting children are wrapped in blankets, while another is also naked. The children without blankets also expose white wristbands on one of their wrists.]
