ADENAR is a non-profit organization whose primary objective is to work for the benefit and the comprehensive development of adolescents in at-risk situations. This Peruvian NGO is dedicated to helping the Maria de Nazareth shelter located in the town of Pampamarca, Canas province, Cusco, Peru. The shelter welcomes adolescents from families who cannot support them as well as those who have fallen victim to violence. As part of my volunteer work with ADENAR, two friends and I led self-affirmation workshops for the girls featured in the following images that I took. From that experience we created a book of their portraits accompanied by a short written piece by each girl.
