PART B_2

Last summer, we saw a boy building a sandcastle at the beach. He approached his task seriously and worked hard gathering sand. After about half an hour, he had a large heap of it and began patting it into a low building with great effort.

He went to his father once satisfied with the results. “Charlie, you’ve made a great castle. I think it’s the best on the beach,” his dad praised him. His father’s compliment made him the happiest boy in the world, and it reminded us of the power of praise. Sadly, adults receive so little.

We thought back to a story our friend Marty had shared with us. Marty is a management consultant hired by a start-up Internet company. The people were too busy and stressed out, causing many disputes among them.

One of the key members of the technical staff, Toni, had been working for 14 hours a day, seven days a week. She had told Marty that she had received several job offers and was tempted to take one. Marty then asked if he could do anything to keep her in the company.

Landfill Harmonic

Cateura is one of the poorest towns in Paraguay, located outside of its capital, Asunción. The town has a huge landfill, receiving tons of waste from the capital city every day. The people in town make a living by selling “valuable” things from the trash.

The children in the town grow up in a harsh environment. Their parents made their children work, so they could not go to school. Favio Chávez, a musician and social worker in Cateura, saw many children in the landfill and felt he needed to do something.

He has always loved music, so he started giving the children music lessons to keep them distracted and out of trouble. However, there was one problem; Chávez only had five instruments, and the children were too poor to buy their own. In Cateura, violins cost more than houses.

Favio sought help from his friend Nicolas, who collects trash and recycles them. Nicolas created musical instruments from trash: he made oilcans into violins, pipes and spoons into flutes, and packing boxes into guitars. “I never imagined making instruments. I was glad that the kids liked them,” said Nicolas.
