Arianna, 16. (Not her real name). She loves being in the Laura Vicuna home because of the protection the sisters give her because she was at risk of being abused in the streets. She loves reading fairy tales and wants to become a doctor to help others in need. When she was making the mask she was thinking of herself and how she was feeling...Arianna lived for 10 years with her sister Anne 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.
