Abstract

This story is part of ILRF's Mothers' Stories series, which highlights a working mother around the world every day before Mother’s Day. Jolene works on a farm in South Africa. Her job is to cut apples on a dried fruit production line. In her testimony she recounts what her average day is like and describes the conditions of working at the farm.
