"Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor"
On a hillside overlooking the city of Huaycan, Peru, sit three boys who await their mother’s return home. Their mother, a victim of domestic violence, sings on the street and in buses to try to make a living and provide for them, yet not even the 10 x 10–foot home they live in is theirs. It is a home with no bathroom, only one broken bed, and nothing but an open fire over which to cook. It is a makeshift shelter constructed illegally on this hillside from which the local authorities are trying to evict them.
