In Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, numerous children are congregated outdoors on dry, light brown earth with scattered green grass. The primary activity centers around a wooden Mancala board game placed on the ground, into which several children are reaching to manipulate green marbles or small stones. Other children observe from various positions around the game. Participants, ranging from young children to pre-teens, wear assorted casual attire, including t-shirts (e.g., blue 'Under Armour,' blue 'PCSC 19 Hooker'), long-sleeved shirts (e.g., orange with a bear graphic, white with partial text from a humanitarian message 'Réponse et protect[ion des] enfant[s]...'), and shorts or pants. Some wear sandals, while others are barefoot. One child holds a small yellow object; another is seen picking their nose.
