Fundraising Challenge to help those around Guatemala City's garbage dump

About Potter's House Association:

Potter's House works with a community of about 10,000 who live at the margins of the city garbage dump in Guatemala City. The community members scavenge in the dump for recyclables and other material that may be of economic interest. Potter's House provides educational, nutritional, medical, micro-enterprise financing, compassionate relief, and community leadership training in this setting. Learn more about their work here: http://www.pottershouse.org.gt/

I spent a summer volunteering at Potter's House in 2002, working with their staff on a microenterprise project. That summer was very eye-opening for me, seeing levels of poverty I did not think were possible. I came away with a deep respect for the staff there who gave of themselves sacrificially to serve those living in/near the garbage dump.

About the fundraising challenge:

In an effort to fundraise for this great organization, I dug up something I recorded for my Chinese class in college to share with you all. If I get over 200 donations, I will create and appear in a music video for the audio track above.
