These children are a members of class of eight girls at Gobongo school in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic (CAR) for a group therapy session for children showing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), such as aggression, bed-wetting, night terrors, lack of concentration and developmental disorders.
PSTD is a reality for many in CAR, a country in which every community has been traumatised by a cocktail of brutal conflict, displacement, hunger and poverty.
The young girls' disturbing images depict scenes of violence - men with guns, missing limbs and lost children.
