The image captures an outdoor scene in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, under bright daylight. A central cluster of approximately 15-20 children, varying in age, are tightly gathered around a slender tree trunk, with many individuals touching the tree or each other. Their clothing includes diverse casual wear such as a blue t-shirt with a beaded necklace, a white tank top, a red and black plaid shirt, and a blue t-shirt with the number "11." One child wears a blue baseball cap. The ground is a uniform reddish-brown dirt. In the background to the left, a partially visible adult stands, holding papers or a clipboard. To the right in the background, an unpaved field extends, where several other children are present; one boy in an orange shirt stands near a white soccer ball, while another boy wears a patterned shirt and appears to have a red blindfold over his eyes. Distant small, single-story structures with light walls and dark roofs are visible among sparse green foliage in the far background.
