Making Copra

Copra is the seed of a coconut tree and it can start to grow when it becomes old enough that it fells from the coconut trees. ,they risk their lives  making copra because they need money to support their families, sometimes they don’t spend much time with their family or their kids because they are always busy doing their works with copra doing very hard works.  Some of the people in the Marshall Islands don’t have jobs; however, they can make money by making copra. They can gather the copra as many as they can get and fill the bags with copra and deliver the copra to a company      First, the people gather all the copra under every coconut trees in their Wato, Marshallese people call their house or their own piece of land, Wato.Then, after they filled up the copra to one spot, they use a long and narrow metal spike to take the cover of the copra. When the cover has been taken, they moved the outside cover of the copra and cut the inside of the copra in small pieces. Then after they had been cut in small pieces, they put them on the ground so the copra can get warmed until they are very dry and get ready to fill the bags with copracalled “Tobolar
