Alvaro Kalancha Quispe, 9, opens the gate to the stone pen that holds the family’s alpacas and llamas each morning so they can graze throughout the hillsides during the day. He then heads off to school, but must round them up again in the evening for this is the work he does for his family. Photo taken May 27, 2011 in the Cayuyo area about an hour from Qutapampa, Bolivia. In the background is the snow-capped Apolobamba Mountain Range
