Peruvian youths practice with punching bags during the evening at the Boxeo VMT boxing club in an outdoor gym in Lima, 3 July 2013. Boxeo VMT is a grassroots organisation offering boxing lessons to youth as an alternative to gang violence, crime and drug-trafficking. Located in some of Lima's most marginalized neighborhoods, Boxeo VMT club joins nearly 50 young men. Although the club disposes only of an unequipped outdoor facility with couple of punching bags, the young boxers train hard three times a week and dream to become a boxing champion.
