For the last three months Chito has been working in the fields chopping down sugarcane. If he fills a truck, his boss Hector pays him about 500 pesos (15 US$) for two days of work. The sugar cane season, which is known as “Zafra,” lasts four months. Although Chito considers himself lucky to have work in the community, he has always wanted a steady job.
