„Baziya. Singende Schulkinder mit dem Hilfslehrer Mbiyo“ („Baziya. Singing schoolchildren with the teacher assistant Mbiyo“). A group of children are standing in rows in a meadow. The girls, predominantly dressed in short skirts, blouses and cardigans, are standing in the front. The boys, wearing shorts, shirts and jackets, are standing behind the girls. A man, apparently the assistant teacher Mbiyo, is standing in front of the group, holding a hat in his left hand. He is only half visible. Richard Paul Moths, born in 1872 in Kösen (Germany), was a carpenter. In 1899 he married Helene Ledoux. From 1900 till 1948 he worked as a missionary in South Africa East (Silo, Baziya, Tabase). He died in 1950 in South Africa.
