The image portrays an outdoor scene in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Five young children are present in the foreground and midground, situated on a reddish-brown dirt ground. A crude wall constructed from reddish-brown mud blocks or bricks serves as a backdrop on the left. On the far left, a young boy in a light-colored striped t-shirt and dark pants sits against the wall, facing forward with bare feet. To his right, a second boy, wearing a light plaid shirt and dark shorts, squats near the wall, extending a small red object with his right hand. In the center, a third boy is positioned on his hands and knees, leaning forward towards the ground, dressed in light-colored pants and a light shirt. A fourth boy sits to the right of the third, facing generally left, clad in a light garment draped over his shoulders and dark shorts, holding a small white object. The fifth boy sits with his back to the camera on the right, wearing a torn plaid shirt and dark shorts; one bare foot and a yellow sandal are visible. The children appear engaged in activity on the ground. Several discarded sandals are visible on the ground: two pairs to the left near the wall, and one yellow sandal near the children on the right. A single blue object, possibly a flip-flop, lies further to the left. In the distant background, a person's lower legs are visible, standing on a wooden bench. The lighting indicates warm, possibly late afternoon or early morning, conditions.
