Description
"Mbozi. In den Sand schreiben der Schüler." ("Mbozi. The schoolchildren's writing in the sand."). Worm's-eye view: in the background some large trees
on the left two African men, probably the teachers. Six children are crouching or kneeling on the ground. Together with the teachers, they are pronouncing the words which they are writing either in the sand or - like one child on the right - on a slate.
