Anne, 14. (not her real name).Anne is really happy to live in the Laura Vicuna home because of the care and protection the sisters give her. She loves reading books and hopes to become an engineer one day. The mask is full of colours because she wants her life to be colourful. Anne lived for 10 years with her sister and father in the streets in Bacood district of Manila. The two sisters lived in a small cart and their father slept on the floor underneath. He had left his wife and was taking of the kids by collecting and selling junk, - plastic, metal and wood. The girls did not start school till Anne was 8 and they had to share flip-flops and books, going to school in turn. The girls were taken in by the Laura Vicuna sisters after a teacher raised concerns about the girls being abused in the streets.
