A Day in the Life: Life in a Farming Village
Life is hard on a small tropical farm. The village is the center of
community life, a place where children and adults learn how to work
together, to live peacefully, and to respect the land that supports
their families.
At certain times of the year, people gather together to celebrate special occasions or just enjoy each other's company. The farmers
also meet to discuss farming techniques, cocoa prices and village affairs.
On most days, children from surrounding farms attend a small school
in the village where they all sit together in one large classroom. There
they learn math, history and even English.
After school, the children spend time with their friends and play soccer (which they call football).
