In Managua, Nicaragua there is a place called La Chureca. It is a garbage dump where Nicaragua's poorest people live. This is a short piece showing a small part of their lives. Music by Sam Martin, Narrated by Liz Martin

  • Nicaragua is my home ): it kills me to see this. WHen i grow up, Nicaragua is the first country im gonna help

  • Oh my gosh I just noticed this video, Connor...I love all of your flow/broseph/lax vids but I never saw this one before. I go to Nicaragua on mission trips and I will be going on my 4th trip this summer. I was actually interviewed for a PBS Documentary about Nicaragua and I was interviewed at La Chureca right above the big "lake" that's in the video. Such a coincidence. Take it easy bro.

  • @djmz1969 Si quieres ayudar, viaja a Nicaragua y ayuda personalmente a estas personas, If you want to help, traveling to Nicaragua it´ll be the best way to help them. bye.

  • anyone who has just watched this video probably realises how lucky we are.to have a house,food,and water.these people dont even have a REAL house to live in and only have a fraction of what we do.who ever is reading this is so lucky to be on a computer in your own houe or a friend or relitive.some of you might be reading this and saying that its cheesey but trust me this is something that i would have never said if i didnt see this video.thank you connor for putting this online. love you <3

  • @roge715 Mexico has money, the problem in our countries is that we've always had Pseudo feudal capitalists governments with the descendant of the Spaniards on top, so yes they are racist. The US is government is capitalist but on the Anglo model which even though we may demonize it is not as bad as our governments. Latin capitalism is the worst.

  • @IamRebequita How can I help?, is there an agency I can call, I'm from Nicaragua and live in the US since 1980's, please send me a message I'll really appreciate it...The place is Called "Via Esperanza" is there a website for them. Let me know.
