These photographs were taken at a bus stop or rather a very busy avenue in the extensive capital of Peru... Lima, a place of grey colors... very hustle and bustle... but with very good people and many principles... you may wonder what a staircase is doing decorated in this way? This is done daily by a family of migrants from Venezuela, a girl with her 2 little ones, apparently a single mother... who every morning sweeps, cleans and decorates the place in the hope that the people who pass by there daily give them a few coins to save for food... every time I pass by there I like to admire how well they do it... and I wonder if at any time in her life that girl could imagine being in another part of the world that is not her country offering art to passersby through her decorations!!

Quite colorful and artistic, but I do not agree with child labor, I am sure that if that lady looked for a different way of working without exposing her children to the street, she would find another type of activity to do, with dignity and without using the children. During the plan-demic it was normal to see people doing those jobs, cleaning the street to survive. But today, 4 years later, it is more than confirmed that many of those people today do not need to be on that bridge cleaning waiting for alms to be able to eat, they are simply people who got used to the situation of earning a living through tips or alms that people give you, without much effort and without anyone saying anything to them, that is part of the bad thinking 💠that was created with so many years of socialism in Venezuela. Many people live believing that the world should take care of them, and more so with that issue that they are needy migrants.
