Earth’s Children
Jorge lives in Chiriqyako in Peruvian Amazonia. Every morning he goes out to pick a few bananas for breakfast; his mother then boils them and cooks the meals. During the day, he sings and plays with his friends, but he also helps out on the land: here, everyone helps to grow the food.
