Living in a Mexico City Garbage Dump - The Road to Juan's House - Mexican Poverty

Life in a Mexico City garbage dump: Landfills, known as the Basurero, are the location of shack villages where thousands of families live who have no skills, education or training to get a job. These poverty stricken families and children make their living sifting through the garbage by hand... looking for recyclable materials. But they make less than a dollar a day.

The Road to Juan's House is the story of Juan Boca Negra who lives in a shack village on the outskirts of a Mexico City dump with his brothers and sisters. It is a story of hope as he receives education in the hopes that one day he can leave his shack in the garbage dump for a better life.

Medical Teams International & Manos De Ayuda provided food and education for children living in the shack villages around the Mexico City dumps.

North west medical team represents what humanity is capable of, the good in the human heart. People will speak against the poor, and see them as inferior- but at the end, we all die and are subject to the same universal laws. One thing I can't stand, are ignorant Americans who don't take any consideration of other people, and are quick to see an enemy in everyone. Like the guy under me, he is spreading stupid lies and changing people's perception for the worse. I can't stand you, piece of shit.
