About this book

A tiny town in Guatemala faced two huge problems: they had too much trash, and they had too small a school. Where others might have given up, they didn't--thanks to one crazy idea. That idea not only solved both problems, but also inspired others. Never underestimate the power of an idea! This true story recounts how a Guatemalan village used the materials at hand, which would normally be considered trash, to form the walls of the new addition to the village school.
