Easter Celebration at the Matadoro

The majority of the Trash dump community has been relocated to the Matadoro (the old butchery). We were able to have a small celebration with them on Saturday, April 11th.
*Note: The painted rocks you see in the video were the "eggs" we hid for the Easter Egg hunt!
We were excited to get in touch with Massa Humana, a great group of young people from a local church. They are working hard to partner with other people who are interested in the plight of this community as well, and doing a great job. Due to other pressing needs, they had not been able to do anything special for Easter--so it was great to be able to share with them our abundance.

This week, Massa Humana made sure to visit and share with the children who are still located at the Trash dump. These families are waiting on houses to be built for them at the Matadoro (the government had started to give the homes away to other people, meaning that there were not enough homes for everyone from the dump. They have promised to build more, but no work has been done yet).
