Instruments made of recycled trash help to lift the spirits of some Paraguayan children who live in extreme poverty. These children live on a trash dump site. Where they live, a real violin costs more than a house. So they make do. A violin consists of whatever they can scrounge up at the dump site.
This is Favio Chávez, who started the "Landfill Harmonic".
This is Nicolás Gómez, who works as a trash picker and helps to find and make the materials into instruments.
This is a great cause. Landfill Harmonic is the product of creativity and love for music. It is truly inspiring.
