Cason, visited the Pro-cycle Project in Cateura, an Alter Vida Foundation initiative in alliance with the Municipality of Asuncion, also sponsored by USAID and IDB.

The visit took place in the Segregation, Storage and Commercialization Center where landfill scavengers meet twice a week for a workshop on how to make musical instruments from materials in the landfill. The initiative seeks to improve the quality of life of these recyclers.
