La Paz, Bolivia is home to thousands of shoe shine boys who work on the street all over the city. There are so ubiquitous that they represent their own subculture, their trademark being that they hide their faces due to discrimination from the stigma of being a lustrabota. Hormigon Armado is a street paper that functions like the Big Issue, covering issues relating to the shoe shine boys and life on the street, and they sell the paper and keep the money.
