School boys in Equatoria Province, Congo. The province was in rebellion against the capital. Teachers maintained classes, but they had no books and they even lacked chalk for the blackboards. The boys were reacting with enthusiasm to our arrival on a UN Russian built MI-8 helicopter flown by Ukrainians. One of the boys holds a knife in the air, another holds high a soccer ball, and in the melee, an empty container for water is brought forward, perhaps with the unconscious knowledge that this vessel is the boys most treasured item.
