Think about a 11-year-old girl spending her days washing clothes, looking after her baby brother, and doing hard work on the farm.
Think about a little girl. She knows there is no food for dinner, and no water to drink. She has watched her father, brother and sister lose their lives because the family has no money to send for a doctor.
Hard to believe? For Maria Pastoral, these are the facts.
Maria would gladly go to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. Maria had to leave school because her family was so poor.
