Well this gives me hope. Thank you Royston for sharing it.

A slum built on landfill in Cateura Paraguay. Someone refurbished a violin shell found in landfill and the idea of making instruments from rubbish resulted in Landfill Orchestra.

Just goes to show that where there is a will, then there isn an way.

Quite inspirational.

Most poignant (for me) statement in the video clip. "People realize we shouldn't throw away trash carelessly. We shouldn't throw away people either."

Brilliant, not only the musicians, but also the craftsmen who make the instruments from rubbish, then there is the organisational skills required to make it all happen. All of this on a rubbish tip.

So how is your day?
