Danilo Carillon is 16 years old. He stopped going to school five years ago.He pulls the stubs off the ends of bananas, before pulling a plastic bag over the bunch. He wears a dust mask during certain parts of his job, but it can't filter out the pesticides on the plastic bag, and he doesn't always wear it. He earns 86 pesos per day for bagging 160 bunches.
