Tilo & Oscar

Native Haitian Tilo and his 8-year-old son Oscar work together in the fields every day, tending to their animals. Their five goats, two cows, two horses and five chickens serve as a form of insurance. This horse, valued at 4,000 pesos ($120), would only be sold in the case of a family emergency. Tilo’s wife runs a community store, which provides the family’s modest income.
