"Schule in Hoch-Safwa. Sie haben sich bemalt mit braunen Kreuzen zu meiner Ehre" ("School in High Safwa. They have painted theirselves with brown crosses to my honour"). A group of people standing in rows. The younger ones are standing on the left side, the older ones on the right. Their faces are painted. Some are wearing necklaces. (It seems like they are singing and dancing.) In front of them a man is standing and moving a stick in his hand. (Maybe he is conducting the group.)
