Casa del Niño
Salta, Argentina. September 11, 2010.
The poverty in the province of Salta is not directly visible from the capital’s fancy street cafés, yet hundreds of thousands of people live in slum areas around the city, and poverty is ubiquitous in the region. Casa del Niño supports impoverished, often terminally ill children by giving them care and shelter during their treatment in the children’s hospital in Salta.
