Hi every one, its a new year promised to be great for every one.
It's another time to Inspire You.
I am sure that what we regard as waste could just be an asset to some on else. I was inspired when I watched the documentary of the people of Cautera and I felt that I needed to share it with you. Yes you.
I needed to check Webster definition of waste and it defines waste as a material that is left over or unwanted after something has been made.
However, the resident of Cateura, Paraguay lives in a community that is filled with trash. It's every where.... in its streets, rivers, people's backyard. Garbage is the only crop in Cautera and the harvest last 12 month a year. The occupation in Cautera is trash picking, they sift through the stench 24 hours a day, scrounging for anything they can sell. 10 cents for a pound of plastic, five cents for a pound of cardboard.
However, the amazing thing about the cauteras' is that they recycled this trash to form several musical instrument . The idea was birthed from an enviromental technician who visited the community and saw kids working and playing on what he called " miserable hill". Favio Chavez , the enviromental technician came up with the idea of starting music school to lift the kids lives out of the trash. He realised that he could not raise money to buy musical instrument rather , he made use of old drain pipes, coins, bottle caps, x-rays plate, dessert tins and many more and he transformed them to musical instrument like saxophones, trumpets,guitars, drums and many more instruments.
In conclusion,. the question for us all including me is the amount our "WASTE WORTH"? let make the best use of every thing we have before we tag it as WASTE. ( attend workshops, conferences and read motivational books this year)
