Sounds of hope out of a dump

Who said that there was no hope in the world anymore? Who said that humanity become nothing but a self-serving, egocentric kind?
Here is the story of a man that, with as little as love and music, is changing his country, and the whole globe.

In the capital of one of the poorest countries in South America, Paraguay, there is a neighborhood built around the city’s main dump.

Because Luis Szaran, the conductor of the country’s symphony orchestra, decided to establish a music school right there.

Here you can find a very inspiring video and more information.
