The image captures an indoor gathering in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the foreground, an adult male with dark skin, wearing a light brown polo shirt and dark blue jeans, kneels while holding an orange and black microphone to his mouth, addressing the group. The room has unpainted, light-colored walls exhibiting signs of wear and damage. A wooden door is partially visible on the left, and a small, high-set window with a damaged wooden shutter is present on the right wall. The floor is an earthen or rough concrete surface, partially covered by blue tarpaulins. Approximately 30-40 individuals are present, predominantly children ranging from toddlers to early teenagers, dressed in various casual clothing. Many children are seated directly on the floor or on the blue tarpaulins; some appear to be lying down or resting. In the background, on the right side, an adult woman in a white patterned dress and headscarf is seated on a wooden bench, holding a small child. A red plastic chair is visible further to the right. Behind the speaker, a yellow drum and cymbals are partially visible, suggesting the presence of musical instruments.
