Potato Farm Workers in Dieng, Indonesia 1

Dear unknown farm worker: Even though I was too lazy to discover your name, thank you for letting me take your picture. Thank you for waking up before sunrise, for sweating in the hot sun, for busting your butt in the mud and dirt. Now that I think about it, I’m ashamed. I’m embarrassed that I enjoy your delicious vegetables and fruits without considering that you don’t earn enough to send your kids to a good school. You take out loans to grow my food, although I never help out when the crops are lost during a storm. You don’t have job security and barely make enough to survive on. Dieng, Indonesia
