Description
"Die große Schule in Elim." ("The big school in Elim."). The picture shows a building with a thatched roof. In front of the building around 90 children of mainly African origin. All standing. Some look out of the two windows on the right of the building. Most boys wear hats, the girls wear white scarfs. Most of the boys stand in the front rows, most of the girls and a few adults in the background. Next to the church on the left a tree. Imprinted on the image but difficult to read since only part of what is written appears on the picture: "Grosse Schule [...]." ("Big school [...].").
