Building an Orchestra of Hope: How Favio Chavez Taught Children to Make Music from Trash<\/em>

Booktalk:<\/strong> In Cateura, Paraguay, a town built on a landfill, music teacher Favio Chavez longed to help the families living and working amid the hills of trash. How could he help them find hope for the future? Favio started giving music lessons to Cateura\u2019s children, but soon he encountered a serious problem. He had more students than instruments!<\/p>\n

But Favio had a strange and wonderful idea: what if this recyclers\u2019 town had its own recycled orchestra? Favio and Col\u00e1, a brilliant local carpenter, began to experiment with transforming garbage into wonder. Old glue canisters became violins; paint cans became violas; drainpipes became flutes and saxophones. With repurposed instruments in their hands, the children of Cateura could fill their community–and the world–with the sounds of a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n
