A Guatemalan woman carries recycables scavenged from the trash. Selling collected paper, plastic and cardboard provides the only income for the people who make their home in the dump.

Antonio Chavez plays with other children on the porch of his cardboard shack. The smell of rotting garbage overwhelms the house, which overlooks the Guatemala City dump.

Many families live in the cardboard shacks surrounding the dump -- as the ravine is filled with new garbage, people raise new cardboard shacks and move in.
