collects the barley early in the morning at her family's little
farm situated in the mountain behind their house, in a rural
village at the Andes Mountains called Sotopampa, in Peru. Once a
year, they harvest the barley and then they consume it during
the following year. In these communities of indigenous peoples,
children work helping their families, being very hard for the
Government to maintain a balance between the laws about child
work and the ancient tradition of these populations, that
includes some difficult tasks for kids. Location: Sotopampa,
Huancavelica, Peru
