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. The Agua de Vida Ministry recently drilled a well at the reservation - click on Well 10 - Y'Apy Church for the details.
