Photos from the Village of Y'Apy

The following photos depict the day-to-day lives of the Guanraní people living at the Y'Apy reservation.  While a picture tells a thousand words, no photo can really show the love and the spirit of life that these people show.  Although they live in truly humble conditions, they are a happy people and the Christian believers in the community are a faithful group.
