plantation workers

This the home of a family that "works" the Dardano plantation which is a new plantation in full production this year.
Next to sugar cane work this has to be the most grueling type of work I've seen. Salvadorans are hard workers. The coffee grows on steep mountain sides, it is cold in the dry season and extremely muddy in the wet season. Everyone picks coffee even the smallest of children. I imagine they are the ones climbing down the steep mountain side.
The family who lives here has been promised a small plot of land if they work the farm for a number of years. Land ownership and stewardship agreements are a plantation workers dream.
