These Chachi Indian boys are gathering bananas and other fruit from the Choco forest.
Young Chachi Indians help with crops, doing chores, and gathering fruits from the Chocó forest. These Chachi boys are gathering bananas and other fruits from the forest. Some of these fruits will be taken home for their families to eat, and many of them will be sold in the bigger cities in Ecuador. It is a lot of work to harvest the fruit of the forest, but the Chachi Indians survive by using the forest’s resources and working hard to grow and gather these many plants.
