Maria Rosa is 11 years old. She lives with her parents and two younger sisters in Bolivia. Her father makes a decent wage working in the dangerous mines - things are tight, but there is always food on the table and the rent is always paid. Maria Rosa can afford the bus fair to school and her mom stays home with the two youngest.
