Nightmares in the field

I had gone abroad, working in the fields in southern Spain, it was quite a challenge for me. I had recently celebrated my 19th birthday and had never left the country - All alone, I went far to work.

You ask yourself - Why?

How did your parents agree?

Why not continue your education? - You are so young and in the 21st century there are so many opportunities for young people.

- Money!! I didn't have the money to keep studying. I worked 8 hours a day for $9.00. This money could not save me. I decided to go, see life on the other side, and raise enough money to develop myself. The money I got there was $4 an hour - I know, better than $9 for a whole day.

Continue.. Accommodation

We were accommodated in small houses, we had to sleep five women in a room, on bunk beds, in very narrow rooms. Also, the people there were quite unfriendly, bad and rude. I had the feeling that everyone came from the Prison and everyone there was punished. When I saw all this I walked across the field, there was nothing, just emptiness. I had nowhere to hide my tears, I was very scared, that was the moment when I realized that I had made a huge mistake to go to this place- Alone!

Every morning I got up at 5:00am and drank my coffee, which I made in a pot. I woke up earlier than the others to have a little peace and space of my own. "That calm was only a few minutes." Then.......everyone woke up - they were in a hurry, at least 5 women were waiting in front of the toilet door, shouting and insulting each other. (Yes people - It was a real jungle.)

The workday there was more than a nightmare... Let’s see why.

When the clock strikes 7:00am we all have to be outside to check and count the workers, then we get on a trailer next to each other and bump into each other ,like some hopeless people who have no choice for a better future in the world.

There were times ,when the driver of the trailer drove so fast that we almost fell from there... Do you understand that we are holding on to the ropes or holding hands, because if we let go we will fall and get seriously injured. It was a nightmare!

Our job was to plant strawberries. This means that we are bent over all the time and feel heaviness in the lower back.

We planted strawberries in this nylon.

The morning sun looked straight at me, and I knew the day would not be so colorful. An hour later, I could no longer feel my legs, my body ached, and I felt like I had suffered a great fight from angry guys who killed for a cigarette. I don't know how to describe it better.

I will not forget the rest - the 30-minute lunch break, in which I could sit in the mud, take out a cigarette and relaxxx... The rest time was so short and the minutes went by like seconds! Can you imagine, we work 8 hours of hard work and get a 30 minute break. This is absurd, not normal.❌

All this happens every day for a month.

The accusation..

One morning, I didn't feel well and decided to take a break. It was so nice, there was no one, I took a quiet shower, drank my coffee with pleasure. Yes for those times - a real paradise!

A few days later, after work, the manager knocked on our door,we all gathered in the room, then she announced that one of us was a Thief. Two days ago, one of us entered someone else's room and stole money, cosmetics and boots. He also ate someone else's food.

OK, Stolen 💰,ok, but food? This is a sin, not a theft if one is hungry.🥣

At first, it was funny to me and I didn't take things seriously 😐 until I realized that this thief everyone was talking about 🏦 was actually me. The theft was reported on the day of my rest day...Yes, That day I was alone in the all house. They blamed me!

I knew it was set up on purpose, they didn't like me. What could I do? I denied it, but they looked at me badly and even bullied me a few times.

Not later, the manager called me to talk.

She didn't believe me, she kept blaming me. He looked at me like I was an insect, a thieving insect. I was very angry at the same time very alone. There was no one to trust, I realized at the moment that I was in the shelter of evil snakes.

Every miracle in three days - people say. It had been a week and things seemed to be forgotten. "At least that's what I thought."

She is a thief..

Every Friday was a shopping day in a small neighboring village.

There was a cafe that offered food and drinks🍔🍺I liked to stay there, even alone. And yes, it was Friday, as I was eating, I saw three vulgar women from campus standing in front of me.

- You're a little thieving whore, I'm going to break your teeth." - The woman said against me.

"Oh, my God, where did I go, what did I do?" I said to myself as I felt the fear.

I didn't answer, I ignored her.

After a while she continued, she continued to be rude to me ... I could barely hold back my tears, I was very scared.

I couldn't run away, there was no one to ask for help.

A minute later she got up from her chair, sipped her vodka, walked towards me, and attacked me. He started pulling my hair and hitting me in the stomach while those around me just stood and enjoyed for a moment.

How ugly and inhuman, don't you think?Eventually, I had blood on my face and scratches all over my body.

Is this the world for young people?

Is this our place?

We do not have the opportunity for development?

What am I doing in the field?

We do not need a lot of money, we need will and desire. We need support, we need to know how to build ourselves!

I and all the young people who work there miss their opportunity for Life!

Whatever happens, we must fight for our dreams !!

Learn, educate and secure a future for your generation!

END.
