Guatemala City, Guatemala. Streets of the city dump community. August 31, 2010
My team and I spent the day visiting a city dump where thousands of people lived. The community was extremely dirty and overwhelmed by poverty. This photography provides a little glimpse of what the streets were like. They were very narrow and filled with people and merchant stands. I like how the small boy is tugging at his older sister's shirt. This reminds me of the overwhelming sense of child independence in these countries. So often, kids are left to wander the streets alone at a very young age. Perhaps a 10 year old girl is taking care of her baby sister, which forces her to grow up years before she needs to.
