Recycled Orchestra Project Worldwide, humanity generates about a billion tons of garbage a year. In Cateura, Paraguay, an entire region ekes out an existence off of a portion of the toxic mess. The local economy is largely driven by garbage pickers sifting through trash and finding items to resale. With little else to expect from life, local kids easily fall prey to gangs and crime. Enter music teacher and former garbage picker Favio Chavez. With a recycled saxophone made out of door keys, bottle caps and shirt buttons, Chavez started a music school. Rescuing one kid at a time, he gives each a salvaged trash instrument and lessons. Today, he and “The Recycled Orchestra” travel the world with their unique music, inspiring all who hear. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians also tells of people suffering great poverty yet finding and an overcoming joy in Christ. Morally, times are tough in America; some even call it spiritual poverty. Others have given up altogether. But you shouldn’t give up; instead, remain faithful in your intercessions for the nation. As you do, you’ll play the song of joy that is in your heart. Share the real gladness you have in God. Soon others will be tapping along to the beat.
