This image depicts a group of 26 individuals, primarily children, with one adult male, posing for a photograph outdoors in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Six children are crouched in the foreground, facing the camera. Eighteen children of varying ages, ranging from approximately 1 to 15 years old, stand in multiple rows behind them, with several individuals having arms draped over shoulders. An adult male, wearing a dark shirt and a light-colored vest, stands in the background, slightly to the right of center. Two very young children stand on the far right edge of the frame. All individuals are Black/African. Their attire consists of casual clothing, including t-shirts, shorts, pants, and dresses, some showing signs of dirt and wear. Specific objects include a deflated orange and black soccer ball held by a boy in the mid-ground, a blue and green pogo stick-like toy under the feet of another boy, and some white papers held by a child on the right side of the main group. The scene is set on reddish-brown dirt ground. The background features a grassy field with sparse green vegetation, distant trees, and a partially visible reddish-brown brick structure on the far left. The lighting indicates daytime conditions.
