While the story begins in a shantytown built around a garbage dump and seems like it will be depressing, that quickly changes when Favio Chavez arrives to teach the local children to play musical instruments. The problem is that none of these children's families can afford a music instrument, especially since they are all struggling just to survive. So, what do they do? They create instruments out of garbage. The ingenuity expressed in the creation of these instruments is truly inspiring. And Comport's beautiful illustrations show this wonderfully. The amount of work the children and their teacher undergo to develop their musical ability in the midst of hardship and heat and the smell of garbage. Amazingly enough, this seemingly simple idea changed not only their town, but the world beyond. I love stories like this one because they remind me that no matter how ugly the world can get, there is still hope. A beautifully told, truly inspiring true story about the impact that one person or small group of people can have on the world around them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Read this Book! *by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017* This book is a must read for any age. It's inspiring and moving, so much so it makes me emotional every time I read it. I read it to my students and after I had finished the book the entire class was deathly silent, an amazing feat for rambunctious second graders. They were absolutely fascinated by this book.This book showcases one man's passion that radically changed an entire village and the perseverance and dedication of his students. In the village of Cateura, the main garbage dump for Asuncion, Paraguay, a girl named Ada wanted to learn how to play music. Also in village, a musician, Senor Chavez, wanted to give the children a hope and a future. He offered music lesson and Ada and other children signed up. Unfortunately, There weren't enough instruments to go around, so with lots of help and ingenuity Senor Chavez created instruments from trash. The children spent long hours practicing and created an orchestra. Eventually, the orchestra toured throughout the world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/28699733-adas-violin-the-story-of-the-recycled-orchestra-of-paraguay](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/28699733-adas-violin-the-story-of-the-recycled-orchestra-of-paraguay) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
