In 2002, Anna’s life took an amazing turn as she discovered the plight of the street children in Latin America. Feeling compelled to write about it, she wrote a short story for her nursery children about a street child called Dolita. Anna felt led to visit Mexico City in 2003 and experience first-hand, life on the streets. The sights she found there, gave her the inspiration for her writing and ultimately, her short story developed into the novel – CHAVOS, The Kids of Distrito Federal. “The first of several,” says Anna.
