Defending the Crops
Children in parts of Ethiopia's Omo Valley spend their days up in Moringa trees among the family's sorghum crops fighting off birds intent of eating the crops. The Moringa is used as hops and the sorghum used to make a form of alcohol. Even the children area allowed to drink a weaken version of the drink. It hangs from their perch looking like chocolate milk.
