Verve Girl Magazine article - Buenos Aries, Argentina


Here we are traveling through Argentina.

In Buenos Aries over 1.5 million children are forced to work to survive. They flood the city at night pushing carts, collecting garbage they can sell to recycling centers. They are called the Cartoneros. These children are not afforded the basic right to education, food and shelter. They are forced to do what they can to make money for their families in order to survive. The children depicted in this photo were juggling in front of cars for money.
