People realize that we shouldn't throw away trash carelessly...so why do we think that it's OK to throw away people carelessly? Cateura, Paraguay is a slum that is built in, around, and on a garbage dump site. These people live, survive, and aspire to thrive through salvaging what others found no value in. When I look at the faces of Ada and Bebi, and I hear the music that is in their hearts I find myself celebrating the resilience of the human heart and the human spirit. To hear the music of the Landfillharmonic is to hear the Heartsong of the people and children of Cateura, Paraguay, and to come to understand the resonance of the human heart as it transforms trash into music and elevates a subsistence lifestyle to something that speaks to us all and calls us to acknowledge the greatness of humanity even in the lowliest existences. These lives do matter, and they can make a difference. Please, share this with others, and celebrate the Landfillharmonic.
