Elyores Senat, 33, picks a coconut from the very top of a tree in Damassin, Haiti. Senat has been doing this work since age 12. He picks the fruit for a farm owner, who pays him in coconuts, which Senat can later sell. He enjoys the job and sees it as a way to give back to his community, whose residents use coconuts in a variety of foods.
