Impoverished Children Create Beauty from Garbage

Impoverished Children Create Beauty from Garbage
The families of these young musicians survive by separating garbage in the polluted Cateura slum in Paraguay, but they have enriched their lives and their futures by creating an orchestra out of instruments fashioned from recycled trash. A fork, an oil drum, the handle of a hairbrush. Things that may be deemed beyond repair, can be turned into something worthwhile. Listen.
