Whose got the biggest balls?

No this is not a joke. This was the name of a contest sponsored by the Mayor's office of Managua to raise awareness about waste management and recycling. The youth in Walter Ferretti participated, collecting plastic bags, plastic bottles and cardboard, working tirelessly trying to make huge balls of garbage. They met every afternoon glueing cardboard, tying together plastic bags and rolling them up like a huge ball of string (think aluminum foil ball on Peewee's Playhouse). I was very impressed by how well they worked together, dividing up tasks between the four balls and coordinating the collection of garbage. They ended up winning 3rd place in the contest, which was $100, and they're going to use the money to take a trip to the beach with all who participated.
