Digging The Future
Nuru (13) cannot recall how long he has worked here. He has never been to school and does not know how to read or write. He is upset because his brother, who he works with, is angry at him for not processing enough material through a machine that they have to pay for daily. However, he quickly says that mining is still better than working on the fields back home "you farm the land, but don’t earn anything," he says, adding that he is not afraid of working in the mines.
