"Meditation is inner service and service is outer meditation." --Dada Shambhushivananda

Nancy McGirr covered the Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador wars for over eight years. After leaving Reuters she moved to Guatemala to work for a magazine agency. One assignment, to cover a story on the city's garbage dump, led to a chance meeting with two nuns running a
literacy class of 5 children from the city dump. After a series of
meetings Nancy was asked to continue their education and teach them photography. She came out with Out of the Dump, a photographic effort by 25 children of the slums to fund their own education!
