Meet Blas. Blas is an enthusiastic student at SÃmbolos Patrios Elementary in Vicente Guerrero, a transitional community across the street from Oaxaca's municipal garbage dump. His family makes their living from the dump, collecting bottles to sell. Blas is a very smart kid. He works hard in school and wants to go to college. "I would like to be an example for my brothers and sisters," he says, "I want them to think I am smart, and I want them to follow my example and to go to school."
