The kids spend their last few days roughing it as farm hands on a remote island.

Documentary series where British kids experience work in factories in Asia. The kids spend their last few days roughing it as farm hands on a remote island in the Philippines.

On the final leg of their eventful journey with the workers of Asia, the five British kids spend their last few days roughing it as farm hands on a remote island in the Philippines. 

Fresh from pooling their hard-earned wages to bring a family back together, they join rural workers on the only silk farm in the Philippines. Here they have to handle and process the big fat live bugs needed to make luxury silk - and some of the group have to face deep-seated fears to be able to do the job. After three weeks in Asia can they show that they now have the inner strength to tackle whatever is thrown at them? Or will any of them fall at the final hurdle? 

When the group get back home to the UK, their families reflect on the effect this emotional trip has had on their children. And as the whole experience sinks in at home, the kids talk about how their own behaviour and attitudes have changed as a result of this trip of a lifetime with the people of Asia.
