Outside the government offices and main commercial buildings in the centre of Bolivia's capital city, La Paz, clerks have set up desks and typewriters and offer the public the service of completing the lengthy forms required to obtain official action. Here, an indigenous woman, dressed in traditional hat and shawl, waits while one of these clerks fills in a form for her.
