Street Children in Peru



So I went to Peru after a friend's wedding in Bolivia. Peru was beautiful, especially Machu Picchu and Cuzco. While sitting on the stairs in front of the main cathedral in Cuzco, some children came up to sell me some finger puppets and other things. We started talking and before I knew it, there were over 15 kids trying to talk to me. It turned out that these kids all lived with their families during the school year, but as it was summer vacations they had come to Cuzco to work. In total there were 5 girls and 10 boys that I spoke with, unfortunately, the girls didn't want me to take their photo, but they did each give me fingerpuppets to give to my nieces.
