Hunting and growing enough food to survive is a daily struggle. Everyday after school two brothers join their parents in the jungle to cultivate cocoa seeds that they sell to the coffee traders that sometimes visit their village. They use the money to buy school uniforms books and school supplies.</p><p>Although the work is hard the two brothers are determined to gain an education and their efforts pay-off showing that we can achieve goals that seem impossible when we refuse to be stopped.
