The Shepherd of the Highlands

A small child herds sheep in the highlands of Peru. Even at her young age, she is responsible for taking care of her family's sheep, walking very long distances every day to make sure they exercise and have food. Alone in the highlands, she spends the day waiting for the time to pass, before she heads back home with her flock.
