The image displays approximately fifteen children outdoors on a reddish-brown dirt surface in the city of Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The children, predominantly boys, appear to be between the ages of approximately 5 and 12 years. They are dressed in various casual clothing, including t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, and trousers; some garments exhibit signs of wear or dirt. Footwear consists primarily of sandals or flip-flops, with some children appearing barefoot. In the center-right of the frame, one boy in a light-colored tank top holds a black and white soccer ball. To his immediate right, another boy in an orange, torn t-shirt holds a worn or deflated yellow and black patterned soccer ball with both hands. On the far left, a girl in a brown dress brings a small bottle with a green cap to her mouth. The children are positioned in a loose group, with several forming a somewhat linear arrangement in the mid-ground. Their gazes are varied, with some looking towards the viewer and others looking elsewhere. The background consists of dense green foliage, trees, and indistinct structures partially visible through the vegetation on the left side of the frame. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
