Tobacco Growing on Hillside Below House

Description

Tobacco field on a slope. In the upper part, where the tobacco plants end, there is a wooden house built on stilts, it has a zinc roof and the walls are made of scraps of wood, zinc and cans. You can see a window and a door that opens into the void, without steps. Near the house there is a small building with metal sheet walls that looks new, probably a latrine. There are several children on one side of the house and two more in the field.
