There was a little boy who was selling
tangerines. He walked everywhere offering
'Tangerines, tangerines', so we asked to take his
photo and he said yes. He must be just
seven.Maria, female, market seller, Santa Cruz

Here, as you can see, there are two boys who are
window washing and who are playing, they do this
to get paid and this is how they make a
living.Eltan, Santa Cruz

This picture makes me happy and sad at the same
time because these children are so young, between
5 and 12 years old, and they are likely to fall
behind in their studies. I think they are heroes
because they carry the load of Santa Cruz.

This is the street where my grandparents live. I
took this picture because the street is very
empty at night and as of 2000 there are
incidents of rape, assault, murder or sometimes
they just take drunken peoples clothes. As of
2100, there are kids from gangs in this street
looking to cause trouble. This is why I took the
picture. Paola, 11, Llallagua

Juan the Potato Seller is 8 years old and he is
from the rural area. He works helping his father
sell potatoes so that in his home they can at
least be able to at their daily bread and study
in a school. Ivan, male, shop worker, 17,
Llallagua

This pair of sisters work together. They work as
well as studying. They sell bunuelos (typical
Bolivian pastry) in the streets. That is the life
of a child and adolescent worker to work and
learn. Iván, 17, male, shop worker, Llallagua
13
Its not all about working and everyone deserves
a rest. Working is hard and you use up a lot of
energy. You make sure you look happy when you
work to show people that you are proud of your
job, but you also need to rest. Some kids are
embarrassed by their jobs because they think they
are not as good as other people. But working is a
way to survive.Cristian, male, wheelbarrow
worker, Santa Cruz

This is a game known as Bhabhio - it is made up
of thread and a wooden stalk. My favourite game
is Wanjh Wati. You have to draw four lines for
outside then draw two lines each in the middle

those lines. Once at school I won a competition
for winning a game.  Jodho, 12, male

my village as they don't have any medical
facility, even a dispensary for medicines. The

my brothers. Suresh, 12, male, former carpet

This is a potato and onion shop at the market
place. Sometimes buyers escape the shop without
paying the money while the vendor is busy
weighing the vegetables. So this seller brought
his five years old son for keeping an eye on the
customers. Panchanan, 15, male, former factory
worker, Midnapore

This photograph was shot in Baraberia. I was
going to the market one day, when I found a few
men and a woman quarreling in a paddy field about
the boundary of the field in which the paddy was
going to be sown. I found that very interesting
so I decided to take a picture. This is a regular
scenario during the monsoon when the paddy is
sown.  Alpana, 14, female, former domestic

very hard work.Emmanual, 15, Musina, South Africa

These are policemen that I took a photo of. Being
arrested is a big problem. Sometimes they arrest
you because you do not have any papers. They take
you to a camp where there are soldiers. We sleep
there, they give us dirty food and when there are
many of us they deport us back to Zimbabwe. Kuda,

around, I trust her. Themba, 14, Naas, South
