The image captures an outdoor scene in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, featuring approximately twelve children on reddish-brown earth ground with dense green foliage in the background. In the foreground, a young girl with dark skin, wearing a light-colored, patterned, long-sleeved dress, is barefoot and positioned centrally, actively jumping with both feet elevated off the ground. Her head is angled downwards. To her immediate right, another young girl with dark skin stands barefoot, facing right. She wears a patterned light blue/green sleeveless top and a dark skirt, holding a small, purple, paddle-like object in her extended right hand. An arm in a light-colored shirt is visible on the far right edge of the frame. On the left side of the foreground, a cluster of children is present. One child, wearing a light-colored sleeveless top and patterned pants, stands with their back partially to the viewer, holding a slender, purple-tipped object extending downwards. A younger child in a dark patterned top lies prone on the dirt in front of them. Other children are seated or kneeling nearby, including a girl in a striped sleeveless top and dark pants, and a child in a white shirt. In the mid-ground, behind the central jumping girl, two more girls walk towards the left; one wears a white sleeveless top and a dark skirt, and the other, further back, wears a red shirt and light pants. In the background, near the thick green vegetation, two boys are visible, one in a blue shirt and the other in a green shirt, standing upright. The children are engaged in various forms of outdoor activity and social interaction.
