Boy sitting on window ledge

"This photo is of a girl sitting in the window of a school in a Dominican Rebublic barrio.  Before this school was established, many girls became pregnant - some as young as 12 years old.  By the time they were 13-14, many girls had gone to live with older men because their families could no longer afford to house/feed them.  Now, there is a mentorship program for these girls and they are being educated."
