Buying one man knowing i get one girl who is were under a lot of pressure both of us are going so weve taken out a loan thats twice as high.

In the couple took a big financial risk to be able to earn money in sweden dominant pylea in each have to take out a loan at 75000. 00 baht the equivalent of just under 2200 euros they borrowed the money directly from the thai Employment Agency it includes a fee as well as the cost of the flight and the work permit. d they were given this contract its supposed to guarantee them fair working conditions and a minimum wage of almost 2000 euros per month.

That there will be no work on the sugarcane plantations or the rice fields in the next few weeks. There is nothing left for me to do until harvest time and. If things go well he gets around 300. 00 euros a month for harvest. Its enough to survive nothing more. Than. Chang lives in this house with his family the top floor is uninhabitable the wood walls have been eaten away by tan lines. Family life now takes place down here without morals or privacy. Yet found by them id like to renovate a house than a cat and maybe open a little shop here. And if the money is enough maybe i can still afford a car or a small piece of land that i can cultivate myself. His wife like has long fought for chang to be given a chance to go to sweden until now he has not been able to afford the job as a berry pick up he lacked the collateral for a loan. Thats why they sell chickens fuel is every afternoon only that way could they make a small downpayment they borrowed the rest of the money from the Employment Agency it also means lex life could finally improve to fall back on me and i said that ive seen our neighbors bring money home and suddenly they can afford a car farmland and more when we see that we have hope we also want what they have. A whole lot more. A Better Future for themselves and for their daughter but will the strain come true. Palin and who dont pack their last things piling is accompanying her husband to sweden for the 11th time. Now have you also thought about the food. Ready. And what about bags for the berries fornicate. The bags for collecting the berries dorman palin prefer to rely on their own the quick mint and their own ingredients gummy there are so many things we bring drug chili sticky rice bamboo shoots my hand i know we need all of these ingredients because we are the sun people one sad not enough if we work all day we need our familiar food in and out and there is mostly meat over there in sweden. But with our extra and radiance it almost tastes like home we come back i have my it. They have big plans. Each of them wants to own 100000 baht just under 3000. 00 euros per person. Will the season be good they dont know or care. Will they find enough berries. They now have 2 months to do it. And we will try to meet up with them again in sweden. In this vast expanse more than 6000. 00 times a year this year to pick the wild berries. First we try to find chang since we visited him in thailand we have kept in touch with him via social networks chang wrote to us that he should be in this syria about 3 hours drive north of stockholm. He sent us the name of the place and the photo of his accommodations. We find the building in the Late Afternoon but the burly pic is still out. Here. In the nearest town zuda ham is only one blueberry dealer maybe well find chang here. We asked the commission and we are allowed to film in the factory hall only time i saw tramper is here theres no trace of chang. Boy axels on is the managing director for 2 years hes been maligned almost exclusively on sees no thai workers more than 700. 00 around in the woods. Became very spotty in. Time come your way when your golfing of course i also wonder why you have to fly people across half the globe but there are no others who want to collect berries the feel of the ties help each other they just work very well together in a group so badly that we europeans cant do it that way but all cool make believe but fed from the pier into your. Pocket while. Its now evening the 1st because come back to deliver their harvest this still no sign of china we havent received a message to him in 3 days we dont know where he is i. And then we spot a great bubble has suddenly hes standing in front of us. Chang looks exhausted. And even now his working day is far from over. He still has to weigh his berries. He earns the equivalent of 2 years 20 per kilo picking berries is peace quick. Nap thinking im tired very tired i. Am than a fat the so far we havent found that many parents he was with them and its not going so well there are simply not enough troops to make up for the war. On paper the workers are employees and are entitled to the minimum wage in real life they are paid by the kilogram. Very entrepreneur boy axels on its planes the principle tillis 76065. 00 he says his workers have no interest in the minimum wage because the kilogram price gives them the opportunity to and more and. Thats why theyre willing to work longer than 8 hours a day good answer question in return to your theme of all sometimes the times are in the forest for 10 hours but maybe theyve been shopping or doing Something Else in between there but in addition they want to make more money your can you and i cant stop them from working in our extra because they want to earn a few crowns more they get its very difficult for us to control that really add up. To get over the minimum wage of just under 2000 euros chang has to pick at least 36 kilograms every day
