This image captures an outdoor scene in the city of Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, on a reddish-brown dirt ground. Approximately 25 individuals, predominantly children and one adult woman, are present. The background features sparse green vegetation and indistinct structures under a bright sky. A vertical wooden pole or tree trunk stands in the center-left. A dense group of approximately 15 children, ranging from toddlers to early teens, occupies the central mid-ground. They are standing close together, dressed in varied casual clothing, including t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and trousers, some showing wear. A child in a white patterned long-sleeved shirt is positioned with their back to the camera in the left foreground. In the center, a boy in a grey long-sleeved shirt and orange trousers faces right. To his right, a child in a blue t-shirt with a white and yellow graphic faces left. On the right side of the mid-ground, a smaller group of three children sits directly on the ground. One child in a blue shirt is seen leaning forward. In the far background, a boy in a patterned dark shirt with a red headband is in motion to the left. Another boy, dressed in a brown patterned shirt, walks from the right holding a blue and yellow object, resembling a toy horn or trumpet, pointed upwards. An adult woman stands further back in the right background, wearing a red top and a patterned wrap skirt, observing the scene.
