Jhon is a sweet, playful and joyful boy who grows up in the city of Oruro, nestled in the Andes Mountains at an elevation of over 3,700 meters above sea level. His main interest is to ride a bike. He attends primary school. His favorite class is Spanish. He dreams of becoming a policeman. He lives with his parents and sister in a small house made of adobe walls and corrugated metal roof. They lack proper sanitation services. His father earns a living as an engineer, while his mother runs the home. The family makes around US $ 342.00 per month. The income that the family receives is minimal and insufficient to meet all of their basic family needs. Poverty is a daily reality for most Bolivian children, as they lack the necessary resources to grow. If nothing is done to change the situation, the story of this child will likely repeat itself.
