An outdoor, eye-level photograph depicts one adult male with approximately 20 children on reddish-brown dirt ground in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The adult, a dark-complexioned male wearing a tan polo shirt and blue jeans, is positioned centrally, facing a cluster of children, with his hands near the back of a child in the immediate foreground. The children, predominantly boys ranging from approximately 4 to 14 years old, wear varied, often worn or soiled, casual clothing including t-shirts, tank tops, and pants; most are barefoot. One child on the far right holds a blue and white megaphone. In the background, sparse green vegetation and simple residential structures are visible beneath trees. Natural daylight illuminates the scene.
