This image depicts a group of ten individuals, consisting of one adult male and nine children, positioned outdoors in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The scene is set on reddish-brown dirt ground, consistent with an unpaved open area or sports field. In the background, undulating hills and mountains are visible under a clear, light blue sky, with sparse, dry vegetation and a distinct pile of reddish earth in the mid-ground. The adult male, standing centrally at the back, is clad in a light-colored collared shirt, a multi-pocketed utility vest, and a blue baseball cap featuring a white tree emblem. He has his arms placed on the shoulders of two of the children. Eight of the nine children are wearing matching yellow and black soccer jerseys, which display the "BVB" club crest and "1&1" sponsor logo. Their attire includes dark shorts or trousers. One child on the far left is dressed in an orange-brown t-shirt and light-colored trousers. Footwear varies among the children, including sandals, slides, and athletic shoes, while some are barefoot. Of the nine children, six are standing, and three are crouching or kneeling in the foreground. One child in the crouching position on the right is making a hand gesture, holding fingers near his mouth. Another child kneeling in the center foreground gazes directly at the viewer. Visible on the ground in the lower right is a long, thin, light-colored stick or bundle of straws. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight, casting minimal shadows and indicating midday conditions.
