Child Protesters

On Tuesday, as we walked the two blocks from our hotel to the FODEMI office in Latacunga, we were surronded by throngs of schoolchildren costumed in an eclectic array of colorful outfits. They were apparently parading schoolchildren protesting children's labor. I wasn't really aware that 8 year olds were big into protesting for economic and political justice (I thought they were more into protesting their parents to see PG-13 movies), but apparently these kids were. We got to the office, found no clients there to interview, and returned to the street to take a few pictures of the scene.
