Dia De Luz 2008 #6

Huffing glue is how he gets by. He says he wants to stop, but he won't give up the bottle. He's only twelve and was more strung out than anyone I had seen in a long time, or ever (outside the dump).

problems like this exist in many places around the world, but it is very prevelent here in La Chureca. It is the only way kids can cope with where they are.

all we could do was love them and walk with them. I think that meant more to them than us giving them something. Walking with them over time will be the best thing.
