Bissau.
I met this little kid picking up cashew nut from the ground during school time. Cashew nut has to be picked up immediately after it falls from the trees. Only then the fruit is good to be eaten and the nut kept tp be sold later. You can see a lot of women and children under the trees waiting for the cashew nut to fall on the ground. This little kid started cooperating in the family business too young. Will he be given the chance to get a proper education?
