When you come home from school what do you do? Watch TV or help your mum and dad? Swaley, 7, from Tamale in north Ghana helps his mum, Salima, in the rice fields after school. It’s hard work but all the children have to help out.

Swaley’s mum is a rice farmer but her business isn't doing well because of cheaper rice brought in from the United States.

'The farmers in the US and Europe should sell rice in their countries so that I can sell rice in my country,' says Salima. She feels it’s not fair that rich countries are allowed to help their farmers but stop poorer countries, like Ghana, from helping theirs.

Swaley and his brothers and sisters hope that their mum will be able to sell more of her rice in the local market. She needs money to buy food and clothes and send them to school.
