The Dump



In the heart of Guatemala City is the largest garbage dump in Central America. More than 13,000 people live around the dump, nearly 7,500 of them children. Daily they are exposed to chemicals, fumes, rusted metals, and gang violence. Their countrymen refer to them as "trash." Sadly this slur has penetrated their hearts--those born in the dump community struggle to believe they are worth more than the garbage that surrounds them.
