The Children of Sinyea

In the village of Sinyea, Liberia - a kilometer north of the blooming Phebe Junction - the young children have no reservations and few obligations. Stiff cement homes are set in the verdant, overgrown "bush". This provides a beautiful and often stark backdrop for the "bluffing" youth.
