Abstract: Tons of trash are poured into a village that lives on a landfill in Cateura, Paraguay, and the community has risen up and created Orchestra H20 for kids that make and play instruments out of the trash. We sought out to create an instrument made from commonly found waste in Cateura and produce a reconstruction guide for Orchestra H20 so they can use the instrument in their ensembles. We hope to inspire others to repurpose used materials for social, educational, and environmental benefits.
