Snapshots from Peru

• How do the Young Lives children in Peru live?

• What are their dreams?

These were the questions posed by BBC Mundo journalists, Ana Lucia Gonzalez and Carolina Robino, when they visited Peru in February 2004. Ana Lucia and Carolina worked with children in Huaraz and Huaycan in Peru, encouraging them to tell us about their lives by taking photographs... the result is a series of audio and visual diaries that provide an insight into these children's hopes and reality.
