Children Living in the Garbage Dump in Guatemala


Years ago when I worked at Bloomington Junior High, I remember a book about the children living in a garbage dump in Guatemala.  At John Nicholson's funeral, I reconnected with Deb Walters, Megan's mother-in-law and she related what she has been doing for the past several years.  Dr. Deborah Waters kayaks from Main to Guatemala solo to raise money for these same children, the children who live in the garbage dump! The pictures in this book were taken by the children.  It is available through Amazon.
