Tomas Borge, Nicaragua

Tomas Borge is located just outside of Leon, Nicaragua.  Tomas Borge was once one of the largest dump sites in Nicaragua.  Several years ago the government shut down the dump and turned the land over to the squatters who called the area home.  There are approximately 6,000 families living in this area. Like many impoverished areas many in this community lack the basic resources to rise above their circumstances.  The people of Tomas Borge are some of the most beautiful people, inside and out, that you could ever meet!
