GlobalCompassion.com (www.globalcompassion.com) features one photographer (or a group of photographers) from around the world each week. The goal is display photography that reveals life (and stories from life) in people and cultures around the world.

This week you can see photos taken by children whose lives revolve around La Chureca, the landfill outside of Managua, Nicaragua. They were part of a special project under the tutelage of Samantha Oulavang.
