Guava & Mango Harvest

Young girls and boys form much of the farm’s labor force.  At night Chika and the other girls put on their sleek leotards and wipe down the wood floor of the dance studio.

クリスマス  おどりまくって  いたい足  
Christmas –
I danced round and round
how my feet ache
                         Yoshika Tsuji  (“Chika” b. 1987 age 12)
