The image displays six young male children, estimated to be between four and eight years of age, standing in a linear formation outdoors in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are positioned on a reddish-brown earth surface. Five of the six children have their arms placed around the shoulders of their immediate neighbors, indicating a close grouping. All subjects are looking directly at the camera with neutral to serious expressions. From left to right: 1. A child in a black short-sleeved shirt with a purple graphic, yellow-green knee-length shorts, and light orange slide sandals. This child leans forward with the right hand on the right knee. 2. A child in a pink long-sleeved shirt and light brown pants with noticeable tears at both knees, wearing light orange slide sandals. 3. A child in a grey short-sleeved shirt, light blue shorts, and light orange slide sandals. 4. A child in a multi-colored floral short-sleeved shirt, dark blue shorts, and light orange slide sandals. 5. A child in a tan short-sleeved shirt, dark grey pants, and light orange slide sandals. 6. A child in a black and white horizontal striped long-sleeved shirt with a small front graphic, dark pants, and light orange slide sandals. The ground consists of dry, unpaved reddish-brown soil. In the background, several single-story structures constructed from reddish-brown earth or mud bricks are visible. One structure exhibits a light-colored fabric or sheet draped in an opening. A blurred human figure, appearing to be another child, is present in the distant background near these structures. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
