YOUNG LIVES We’re going to look at children’s lives in four different countries: Ethiopia, India, Peru and Viet Nam
WHERE IN THE WORLD? UK Viet Nam India Ethiopia Peru Can you locate the UK and the four Young Lives countries on a world map? Map source: http://www.geography.org.uk/downloads/GA_REMapsEckertIV.pdf
WHICH COUNTRY? • Have a look at the following images. • Each photograph was taken in one of the four Young Lives countries: Ethiopia, India, Peru and Viet Nam. • Which country do you think each photograph is from? • Why do you think this?
WHAT IS YOUNG LIVES? The researchers have learnt a lot about the children’s lives. They have interviewed the children and some of their families. This is Luz, one of the children interviewed. She is from Peru.
Afework Ethiopia Here is Afework. In his spare time he likes playing football with his friends and watching TV.
Seble Ethiopia In this photograph, Seble and a friend are cutting hay feed.

Hung Viet Nam “I want to go to school to have more knowledge. I know that if I can study well, I will have a better life later.”

TIME TO THINK… • What similarities and differences do you notice between the lives of these children? • Are there any differences between the boys and the girls? • Are there any differences between the children living in towns and cities and those living in villages or the countryside?
