Children work in the coffee plantations in Kenya without any protective gear whatsoever. White dust from pesticides covers their faces and arms, while the sharp spines of the coffee trees cause injuries that can easily get infected. While the film crew was in Kenya, we met a child, Silvia Ngendo, whose leg was badly infected from an untreated injury. Fortunately, Robin Romano travels with a well-stocked first aid kit, and the crew were able to tend to Silvia's wound and save her leg. The parents in the village, who had been hesitant to cooperate with the filming before, now helped us in any way they could. No parents choose to send their children to work. It is a choice born of absolute necessity - and political corruption.
