The lives of many children in Bolivia are governed by poverty and lack of educational opportunities. The life of Sheyla is no exception. She is a quiet, shy and sweet girl. She grows up in La Paz, a city known for its high altitude, cold climate, bustling streets, and heavy traffic. She has much fun playing football. She attends a local school, where she enjoys her music lessons. She would like to be a football player when she gets older. She lives with her parents and 3 siblings in a rudimentary dwelling consisting of adobe walls and corrugated iron sheets on the roof. They still lack proper sanitation services. Her father earns a living as a farmer, while her mother runs the home. The family income is around US $ 214.00 per month, which is not enough to pay the basics. Like many children in this country, she needs your love and support to have access to better living conditions and education opportunities. Your can make it possible.
