Although progress has been made over recent years, landlocked Bolivia continues to be one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Geydi lives in Cochabamba, a valley in the Andes mountain range, where the weather is pleasant all year round. This quiet, joyful and lovely girl enjoys playing with stuffed animals and dolls. She lives with her parents and sister in a dwelling made of brick walls and metal corrugated roof. Her father earns a living as a construction worker, while her mother takes care of the home. The family income is around US $ 287.00 per month, which is lower than the national minimum salary 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 education opportunities so she can grow up to be a healthy and productive adult.
