Eleven-year-old Kadu lives with his family in small village in Zambia that relies on cotton production for its survival. While his mother works the cotton fields, his father makes a living as a tour guide on a boat taking holiday makers to see Zambia’s unspoiled nature and taking them all the way to the Victoria Falls. Yet their joint income is barely enough to survive on: Of their children they can only send Kadu to school, unfortunately very irregularly at that, because he is often needed to work the fields.
