Reading is the window to light
Chilean boy reading at the recycling cooperative where his parents work classifying garbage. The cooperative, located in Puente Alto, Santiago de Chile, is part of a Latin American movement that struggles to organize recyclable materials collectors productively and economically so they can restore their dignity and develop an identity of their own.

Fantástico registro, increíble coincidencia, el otro día, en mi pais, vi como una adolescente que estaba clasificando basura en la calle, estaba leyendo una revista que encontrò, senti algo dentro, algo asi como lo que me hace sentir esta foto, que injusticia.

Excelente composición! Y el tema iluminador y conmovedor. El niño está en medio de la basura, pero la lectura lo ha transportado a otros mundos. Bravo!
