A team of barefooted boys burst into celebration after scoring a goal against the opponent in a match played on the windy shores of the Indian Ocean in Kwale County.

The rays of the setting sun cast long shadows of the boys playing football on the white sand. At a distance women and men are busy planting or tending to the mangrove trees.
