In Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, two young individuals are seated on the dry, reddish-brown earth playing a board game. A young female on the left wears a light blue t-shirt over a white t-shirt and a patterned wrap-around skirt featuring green, blue, and black geometric designs. She looks towards the game board. Opposite her, a young male in a dark blue patterned t-shirt and blue shorts is actively engaged with a wooden mancala board, reaching his right hand into one of the pits containing small green playing pieces. He holds an additional playing piece in his left hand. His left foot wears a dark slide sandal; his right foot is bare. The mancala board, positioned between the two, contains numerous green marbles or seeds in various pits. In the background, to the left, an orange plastic object or fabric is visible on the ground, alongside a yellow cloth further back. An orange object, possibly a skipping rope handle, lies on the ground to the right of the young male. The immediate environment consists of open, unpaved ground with minimal vegetation.
