Toymaker in Mexico
Shannon Young/World Vision Report
In Oaxaca, Miguel Ramirez has been crafting toys from used spray cans for more than four decades.
Description
Race cars, stuffed animals of all sizes, robots, and dolls with shiny plastic accessories fill the shelves and displays of most toy stores. Rare, though, are handcrafted toys made in small-scale workshops. Reporter Shannon Young takes us to one toy workshop in Oaxaca, Mexico that produces beautiful handmade pieces, and transforms trash in the process.
