In pictures: Guatemalan children's home

Behind a high brick wall topped with razor wire in Guatemala City’s affluent Zona 10 is the Asociacion Primavera children’s home.

Its three storeys house about 100 Guatemalan girls and boys, ranging in age from a few days to eight years old, almost all of whom are awaiting adoption.

About 30 carers are employed to look after them, working round the clock over two shifts, as well as a teacher and two doctors who pay daily visits.
