Description
A large group of children hold hands together in an inner and outer circle, probably playing a game or singing a song. Many of them are looking at the camera with expressions ranging from suspicion to happiness. They wear padded clothing and many of the boys wear hats. A Chinese woman - probably their kindergarten teacher - stands in the back left. They're on the lawn within the mission compound.
