Finally, meet Alejandra.

But most importantly, green apple dum dums are her favorite.

Angelica.
Quillacollo, Bolivia
•
Meet Angelica.
She pretends to be shy.

She is the queen of cuddles, princess of silliness…
and she does a mean frog impression.

Gabriel.

He and his twin sister had been found beside a river.
He made it, but tragically his sister didn’t.

On my first day of walking to work at the hospital,
I met a group of children who would end up becoming my daily escorts.
This was a moment captured while the vigilant residents
inspected my suspicious-looking digital device.

Back at the orphanage,
Juan mourns over his friend,
who had recently passed away.
