This image depicts an outdoor scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, populated by approximately 25-30 children ranging from toddlers to pre-teen age. The setting is an open area of reddish-brown dirt ground with sparse dry vegetation and a backdrop of green trees under a bright, hazy sky. In the foreground, a group of approximately six young children are gathered. Three children are seated directly on the dirt: one in a light beige long-sleeved shirt, another in a blue and white striped t-shirt, and a third in a yellow and blue striped t-shirt (viewed from the back), all appearing to interact with small items on the ground. Standing nearby are two younger children: one in a light green top looking towards the right, and another in a light-colored, possibly polka-dotted, long-sleeved dress looking directly at the camera. Most children are barefoot or wear simple sandals. In the midground, a cluster of four children is actively engaged with a blue and green plastic megaphone-like object, which a child in a gray t-shirt holds aloft. To the right of this group, a child in an orange shirt, adorned with a colorful beaded necklace, stands facing right. In the background, approximately ten older children are dispersed across the dirt expanse, some running or engaged in what appears to be a game, with one child on the far right mid-air, holding a light-colored ball. The distant horizon features dry bushes and several large, green-leafed trees. The scene is illuminated by natural sunlight, casting visible shadows on the ground. Clothing styles are simple, often appearing worn.
