Michael Telleria poses for a photograph with his girlfriend Ana Maria Ipanaque at his home in the Cuban neighbourhood on the outskirts of Lima in Villa El Salvador May 30, 2014. Michael Telleria left Cuba with his parents when he was six years old. Hoping to escape the government of Fidel Castro, they were among some 10,000 Cubans who descended on the Peruvian embassy in Havana in 1980, seeking asylum. Telleria's family hoped to reach the United States, but they didn't make it further than Peru. Telleria now lives in Lima and scrapes a living selling candies on the bus. June 20 is World Refugee Day, an occasion that draws attention to those who have been displaced around the globe. In the run-up to the date, Reuters photographers in different regions have photographed various people who have at some point fled their homes. Picture taken May 30, 2014.
