If we are to believe the saying “you are what you eat”, then the families living in the Guatemala City dump are garbage. As we live our lives of manicured lawns and manicured nails in North America, the families of the Guatemala City dump wake up in huts built of cardboard or tin, landscaped with garbage and find their daily survival needs within the layers of the city dump.
Never before imagining leaving the boundaries of smell and decay, the children and families have been given a light of hope through Camino Seguro (Safe Passage) www.safepassage.org. The dream of empowering children and creating change through education started with founder Hanley Denning, who was tragically killed in a car accident in January 2007. Her vision of “creating opportunities and dignity through the power of education “lives on in the faces and the hearts of the children at Camino Seguro.
Thanks to my sister and niece (Darcy and Chelsea) who recently volunteered at the organization and fell in love with the children for bringing the cause to our attention.
