Seven young children are engaged in play on a red-brown dirt ground in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Seven young children are engaged in play on a red-brown dirt ground in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Six of the children, appearing to be boys, are kneeling or squatting in a semi-circle, focused on four small toy cars. From left to right, one child handles a blue car, another a red car, a yellow car rests on the ground between two children, and a fourth child manipulates a black car. A seventh child is seated on the far right, observing the group. All children wear worn, informal clothing. The lower legs of an adult, clad in dark trousers, are visible in the upper center of the frame, behind the children. The environment is open and dry, with sparse dry grass and scattered dark debris on the ground, and elevated dirt mounds in the background.
