View of the narrow end of a long single-storey grey stone building, with a light grey corrogated roof. A narrow deepset doorway features a black and white image of an African person's face with a wreath of real flowers around it. The building is surrounded by lush vegetation, some of which is growing up the walls, and broken-down fence with barbed wire. In the left background is a steep hill.
