Luz grows up in a high and cold city of western Bolivia, located at more than 3.600 meters above the sea level. She is a joyful, sweet and playful girl who enjoys playing hide and seek. With an imaginative mind, she loves to create her own stories and play pretend with her toys. She attends primary school with great enthusiasm. She dreams of becoming a doctor when she gets older. She lives with her parents and brother in a rudimentary small dwelling made of brick walls, cement floor and metal roof. While they have electricity, they lack proper sanitation services. Her father works as a driver, while her mother is a cleaner. The family income is around US $ 287.00 per month, which does not cover the basics and reaching the end of the month is a constant struggle. Like many children in this country, she needs your love and support to have access to better living conditions to grow up as a healthy and productive adult.
