The only good business in this area is the mango business. The way we are organized and work together is a real motivator! We all do our part. I am proud of being in charge and happy that this helps me send my children to school and feed my family. The mangoes are organic and they are our source of income so we take good care of our them. They are clean because we were trained to keep them clean. I am proud to have a guaranteed income, that I can support my family and also knowing that it is helping the economy of my community.”
