Black and white photograph showing a small child with a bowl on his head, standing next to the kitchen (labelled on the photograph) at the hospital run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria. Two other young Nigerian children can be seen in the background. The caption to the image reads: "Sunday with bowl on head, after bathing." Sunday was a boy of four, who cared for his eight year old sister who was suffering from double pneumonia and a septic ankle. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
