0:00:02 > 0:00:05'These five kids have had the journey of a lifetime in Asia,

0:00:05 > 0:00:09'leaving behind their pampered lifestyles in the UK

0:00:09 > 0:00:13'to experience for themselves how their prized possessions are made.'

0:00:13 > 0:00:15- Nathaniel.- Let's go, girlies!

0:00:15 > 0:00:19'They've made socks, stuffed toys, threaded jewellery

0:00:19 > 0:00:22'and produced parts for computers.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27'Has what they've seen made them think about

0:00:27 > 0:00:29'how easy they have it at home?'

0:00:29 > 0:00:32I think everyone in Britain needs to come here and see what it's like,

0:00:32 > 0:00:34then they'll shut up a bit.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38You've made me want to be better behaved at school, so, yeah.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40I think I'm going to change.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43My dad's just concerned that I'm going to come home, I think.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47What have I done? I've just wanted the experience of a lifetime.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50'Today, they're on the last leg

0:00:50 > 0:00:53'of their extraordinary journey in Asia.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56'Can they rough it in the fields as a farm hand on a remote island?'

0:00:56 > 0:01:00- Hey, farmers!- Oh, my gosh! You're serious?

0:01:00 > 0:01:04'Face deep-seated fears for the sake of others?'

0:01:04 > 0:01:06There's a disgusting thing on the floor!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08'And show they have the backbone

0:01:08 > 0:01:11'to tackle whatever is thrown at them?'

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Ugh! Head again, head again.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22'Last time they learned how difficult it is

0:01:22 > 0:01:24'to make their favourite gadgets.'

0:01:24 > 0:01:28- We don't allow cosmetics inside production.- Spent ages putting it on.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31'And how hard everybody works at school.'

0:01:35 > 0:01:39'Then they had their most emotional experience so far.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42'They met Bing, who'd been separated from her two eldest children

0:01:42 > 0:01:43'for three years.'

0:01:43 > 0:01:46It must be heartbreaking as a mother.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48700.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51'The kids pooled their wages to bring this family back together.'

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Woo!

0:01:59 > 0:02:03It's time for our kids to take on their very final challenge.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06I've brought them to the Filipino island of Negros,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09where they'll get to see the work that goes on

0:02:09 > 0:02:11in producing luxury textiles.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Off we go!

0:02:15 > 0:02:17'They're going to be making silk

0:02:17 > 0:02:20'at the only silk farm in the Philippines.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24'Producing the silk for the scarves and tops we have at home

0:02:24 > 0:02:25'is hard, physical work,

0:02:25 > 0:02:27'with long hours out in the fields,

0:02:27 > 0:02:31'followed by tough shifts in a sweltering factory.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36'And they will have to work with these - big, fat silkworms.'

0:02:37 > 0:02:41'Their bosses for the next two days are farm manager Ricky

0:02:41 > 0:02:46'and director Thelma Watanabe.' You must be Ricky? I'm Stacey.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48'They train farm hands here all the time,

0:02:48 > 0:02:51'and are looking forward to testing out

0:02:51 > 0:02:52'a new batch from the UK.'

0:02:52 > 0:02:54You are now at Bago Training Centre.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59Training centre for young people who want to become farmers.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01For the next two days,

0:03:01 > 0:03:05you are going to experience

0:03:05 > 0:03:07what we are doing here in our project.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, guys, it's silk. How are we feeling about that?

0:03:10 > 0:03:13I think it's cool, cos we've been to a clothing factory

0:03:13 > 0:03:15and we've made things out of silk,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18and we're seeing how the silk got to the clothing factory.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20- It's like a cycle.- There we go.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23You've seen the factory, but here you see the worms.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25How to take care of these worms.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27We're going to be touching real worms?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Yes.- Yes.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32'Emma is petrified of bugs, which means the boys

0:03:32 > 0:03:35'are in with a chance of beating the girls in today's task.'

0:03:35 > 0:03:38- That's why the boys are going to win.- We will not let you win a task.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Up for it, Emma?- Mmm... Yeah.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45So, OK, we'll do the first task. Please follow me, everybody.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47'The bosses have decided

0:03:47 > 0:03:49'that the kids will be thrown in at the deep end -

0:03:49 > 0:03:54'handling the silkworms that are the starting point for silk.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57'In this shed alone, there are 20,000 of them.'

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Oh, my god.- Wow.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh, yeah. So they are.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Oh, my God. I'm not touching that.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06WHISPERS: That's gross.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Is that yellow stuff poo or is it something else?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11I can hear them wriggling.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14'These finger-sized silk worms spend their short lives

0:04:14 > 0:04:15'munching on mulberry leaves.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19'All they do is eat and eat and eat.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22'And they need a supply of food all day, every day.'

0:04:22 > 0:04:25OK, I need one volunteer to do a different job.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30'Ricky needs someone to harvest mulberry leaves for the silkworms.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33'It's a chance to make a quick getaway.'

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- I'll choose Jonas.- OK.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39'Now the other four have to collect the worms by hand.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43'Emma will have to face her worst nightmare.'

0:04:43 > 0:04:46It's disgusting.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50'The 500 silkworms on this table are at a crucial stage of their lives.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54'They have been lovingly fed and nurtured since birth,

0:04:54 > 0:04:56'and they are on the cusp of spinning silk fibre

0:04:56 > 0:04:58'and turning into cocoons.'

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I can't even look at them, they make me sick.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'm not even just...

0:05:09 > 0:05:13'The silkworms cannot be allowed to cocoon on the mulberry leaves,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17'so must be moved gently by hand to wooden frames.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19'This is a really delicate job.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21'Ricky wants to give them a trial run.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23'Can they move a silkworm without damaging it?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Can I try?- OK.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Can I put the bucket here?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35'First up, Nia.'

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Awww.- Good job!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41'And she's passed with flying colours.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44'Milly is more apprehensive.'

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Do you want me to hold this?

0:05:46 > 0:05:48- You ready?- Go on.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Go on. Yeah!- Nice and gently!

0:05:52 > 0:05:54She just chucked it in!

0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Slowly, slowly. - Chuck it to its death.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's still moving.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00'No problem for Nathaniel.'

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Pro!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Do you want me to hold it with you?

0:06:04 > 0:06:08'But Emma's bug phobia has paralysed her.'

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Can't touch them. No, I won't. Be really grossed out.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- If you just touch it.- Come on.

0:06:13 > 0:06:14- Look.- Don't like bugs.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'll do anything else. But I won't touch bugs.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Is it worth having a try, Em?

0:06:18 > 0:06:22They're really grossing me out, they're, like, wriggling and stuff.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24See how you feel about going close.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26But I can't touch bugs.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Oh, its face!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32'Now Jonas heads off to the fields.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34'His job is to bring mulberry branches

0:06:34 > 0:06:36'back for the silkworms to munch on.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38'Jonas has to keep up,

0:06:38 > 0:06:42'and load the cart without damaging or dirtying the mulberry leaves.'

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Oh, oh! That's gross. Sorry. Seen a massive snail.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Have you ever seen a snail that big before?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50And they're everywhere.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53And it's pooing.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56'Jonas has never done farm work before,

0:06:56 > 0:06:59'and the temperature in the fields is 40 degrees.'

0:06:59 > 0:07:01These people don't stop cutting.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02Ever.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06'And silkworms never stop eating, either.'

0:07:09 > 0:07:11- WHISPERS:- Hate this!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Think I'm getting a rash.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18I've started to become really itchy under my neck, and all over here.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22'A Filipino farmworker can spend the whole day out in the fields,

0:07:22 > 0:07:26'and Jonas has only been out in the humidity for half an hour.'

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, no. There's the hill.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32'Milly, Nathaniel and Nia are collecting silkworms,

0:07:32 > 0:07:36'but Emma's phobia has extended to anything that moves.'

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Ugh! There's a disgusting thing on the floor!

0:07:39 > 0:07:42That millipede, there.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47I'm not trying to put it on, I just generally hate these things.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Emma's told me, "Stace, I'm really not great with bugs,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51"it's a genuine phobia, I can't cope."

0:07:51 > 0:07:54So, I think she's finding it difficult,

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Because if it is a phobia, it's tricky to overcome.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's just really gross looking.

0:07:59 > 0:08:04'But Nia, Milly and Nathaniel have all settled into the task,

0:08:04 > 0:08:07'and are racing to collect every last silkworm.'

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Ugh! Oh!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12EMMA GROANS

0:08:12 > 0:08:15It's so gross!

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Come on.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19They feel like teddy bears that wriggle.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25'It looks like every silkworm has been collected,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27'and Emma still hasn't picked one up.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30'Now they have to place the worms carefully on the frame.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33'This is where the worms will spin silk fibres overnight,

0:08:33 > 0:08:35'and turn into cocoons.'

0:08:38 > 0:08:42'It's time to find out which of the other three

0:08:42 > 0:08:43'has collected the most silkworms.'

0:08:43 > 0:08:4498.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48'Milly has a respectable 98.'

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- 143.- '143 puts Nia in the lead.'

0:08:51 > 0:08:5318, 66.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58'But can Nathaniel win his first task of the entire trip?'

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- 198?- Yep.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03'There's no arguing with 198.'

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Hi, gang!- Hey!- How was it?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Fill me in. Who won? Who got the most?- BOTH: Nathaniel.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Nathaniel, did you?- Yeah.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- How many did you get?- 198.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15The boys have won one task.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17APPLAUSE

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Now everyone's won a task apart from Jonas.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24What he's doing's probably not as gross as this.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28'Out in the mulberry fields, Jonas has already filled two carts.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31'He's found his stride, and he's determined to keep up.'

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'm trying to run there and walk back,

0:09:34 > 0:09:37so the quicker I get done, the quicker the work, I can finish.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45'He's realised that there's purpose and reason

0:09:45 > 0:09:48'to everything that he's been asked to do on the silk farm.'

0:09:50 > 0:09:54I had no idea that silk was made out of the spit of worms, at all.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Like, I don't know. I didn't really know where it came from.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03If I was to go back and re-do the whole experience,

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I would try a lot harder, because the idea is that

0:10:06 > 0:10:09I'm expected to do it as fast as I can.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13'Jonas proudly hauls back his last cart,

0:10:13 > 0:10:17'and he has a souvenir from the fields for the rest of the group.'

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Look at this.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Oh, wow!- Ugh!

0:10:22 > 0:10:24That's a praying mantis.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28'It's time to feed the youngest silkworms

0:10:28 > 0:10:32'with mulberry branches Jonas has brought back from the fields.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34'It's a job even Emma can do.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36'And it's the first time

0:10:36 > 0:10:40'that they have all worked together quietly without fuss.'

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Every little job has a knock-on effect.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49So if you do one bit wrong, the next bit's going to be wrong, and so on.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52So, you know, everything's important, and obviously

0:10:52 > 0:10:56if they don't get fed, then they can't grow and make the silk.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00It was just this morning, when we had to physically touch them.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Even though I found this morning really hard,

0:11:03 > 0:11:07I kind of need to make up for that now, so I really want to try hard.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12'The kids will be spending the night down on the farm.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20'And, after three weeks travelling around Southeast Asia,

0:11:20 > 0:11:22'they let off some steam.'

0:11:22 > 0:11:25We have a mirror. An actual, proper mirror.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28- And a shower, and an actual working toilet.- Oh! Not looking good.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32'After dinner, I have a surprise which will bring home to the kids

0:11:32 > 0:11:35'exactly how far they have come during this trip.'

0:11:35 > 0:11:38My lovely five!

0:11:38 > 0:11:43We are very, very nearly at the end of your amazing experience.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48And I've got you a gift. So close your eyes.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- I'm not touching one of them worms. - And count to ten.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54ALL: One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six...!

0:11:54 > 0:11:57'I've got letters from their parents.'

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Count to 20!

0:11:59 > 0:12:02'And it's time to deliver them.'

0:12:02 > 0:12:05ALL: ..13! 14! 15!

0:12:05 > 0:12:07OK, you can go.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Awww!

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Ah, we knew it!

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Can we open them now?

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Yes.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15And just take a few minutes and really read.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22My mum is such a cringe. She put pictures.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Oh, that's sweet.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31I can't even read my dad's... That's what my dad said.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35"Even though I don't do letters, I have put pen to paper."

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Can't even read it.- Do you want me to read it?- Yeah, please.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40I don't know if you'll be able to.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Let's have a look.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45"An extra note from me.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49"Even though I don't do letters, I've put pen to paper to say

0:12:49 > 0:12:51"we all love you very much and miss you,

0:12:51 > 0:12:53"and really look forward to seeing you soon.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57"Take the most from every experience on offer,

0:12:57 > 0:12:59"and you will have no regrets.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01"Lots of love, Dad."

0:13:01 > 0:13:04My dad works so hard so that he can send me to school,

0:13:04 > 0:13:07so I think I need to be more grateful when I'm at school,

0:13:07 > 0:13:11and don't waste my time there, and don't waste the money messing around.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14"I love the way you live life to the full.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16"Your fun-loving, friendly character,

0:13:16 > 0:13:20"and your natural interest in the welfare and lives of other people.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24"I look forward to hearing all about your amazing Asian adventure,

0:13:24 > 0:13:25"and I love you very much."

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Do you feel like you've done your mum proud?

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Hopefully.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think I've got a lot out of it.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35And there are a few mistakes which I've made,

0:13:35 > 0:13:39but you don't learn unless you make mistakes, so...

0:13:39 > 0:13:42What would you say is the one thing you've learned, the biggest thing?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm just so lucky for everything I have,

0:13:45 > 0:13:48and I didn't even realise it.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52And I need to make the most of what I have by helping others.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Do you think Mum'll be proud?- Yeah.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59I do, too.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01NIA LAUGHS

0:14:01 > 0:14:05I've got no real, like, regrets,

0:14:05 > 0:14:08because it's all part of the experience that you do.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Are you getting all teary?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18What do you think's made you teary?

0:14:18 > 0:14:21I just haven't thought of home for, like, three weeks.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24And suddenly, you don't realise there's so many other people

0:14:24 > 0:14:28don't even have a family with them every day.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32And I'm so, so, so lucky that I do.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Good morning!

0:14:42 > 0:14:46'In the farm training programme, everyone has to get up before dawn.'

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Ready before exercise.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54'On the farm, they grow their own rice, their vegetables,

0:14:54 > 0:14:56'and everything needs attention.'

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Ugh, gross!

0:15:00 > 0:15:03'So, before the kids get near any more silk production,

0:15:03 > 0:15:06'they are sent out in the fields to harvest rice.'

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Hey, farmers! How you doing?

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Why are you on a buffalo thing and I ain't?

0:15:12 > 0:15:15This is what they use to get around the farm.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18It's like another farmer. Is it physically hard?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21You get dirty, but it's OK, you just don't be girly about it.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25It's hot out here, and you're wading through disgustingly thick mud.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27They're having to bend over and use their arm muscles.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32At the start I was, "Ugh, mud," but now I'm, "Whatever."

0:15:32 > 0:15:35I could be sitting here going, "I've got mud all over my legs,

0:15:35 > 0:15:38"it's gross," but actually I don't really care.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's part of the job and it's quite fun.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44'Overnight, the silkworms have been working, too.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47'And the ones the kids collected yesterday

0:15:47 > 0:15:49'have transformed themselves.'

0:15:49 > 0:15:52It is so interesting to think that just yesterday

0:15:52 > 0:15:55this frame was covered in wiggly worms,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57and through the night, obviously,

0:15:57 > 0:16:00the worms have spun the cocoons, tirelessly,

0:16:00 > 0:16:02they've worked all through the night,

0:16:02 > 0:16:06and all through today, and now there's only five or six on show.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09The rest of the worms are inside the cocoons.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12'Now they've demonstrated to Ricky

0:16:12 > 0:16:15'that they can all apply themselves to farm work,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18'he's decided to let the kids move on

0:16:18 > 0:16:20'to the next stage of silk production.'

0:16:20 > 0:16:24So, you remember from yesterday,

0:16:24 > 0:16:26where we got to with the silk cocoons?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Basically, the cocoons are brought into this room,

0:16:29 > 0:16:34they put the cocoons into their steam machines, over there.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Then they're boiled in that big pan.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Once they're boiled, they bring the cocoons

0:16:40 > 0:16:42and put them in this machine,

0:16:42 > 0:16:46and this machine finds the thread from the cocoon.

0:16:46 > 0:16:51Then once that thread's been found, it goes on these little trays.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52It goes round,

0:16:52 > 0:16:57and the beginning of the thread is found by the reeling machine.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02So then it just starts reeling yarns and yarns of silk,

0:17:02 > 0:17:04then that silk will be taken off the reeling machine,

0:17:04 > 0:17:08and someone will make something with the silk.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12'As well as silk threads made by machine,

0:17:12 > 0:17:16'this farm also produces silk floss, made by hand.

0:17:16 > 0:17:22'Silk floss is a sheet of raw silk, which is hand-spun when finished.

0:17:22 > 0:17:27'And the silk floss sheets are made out of boiled cocoons.'

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Hi, Ricky.- Hello.- Hi.

0:17:29 > 0:17:34OK, you see this one? This is our next task.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- 15 napkins, and there's 25...? - Yes, 25.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56'They're trying to work out how many cocoons they need

0:17:56 > 0:17:58'to make 15 silk floss hankies.

0:17:58 > 0:18:03'And remember, each hanky is made up of 25 cocoons.'

0:18:06 > 0:18:09So, 25 x 10 is 250.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Times 5 is 500.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15'The answer is 375 cocoons.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18'But what do they think?'

0:18:18 > 0:18:23Is it 2,655 or something?

0:18:23 > 0:18:283,075? Am I completely off?

0:18:28 > 0:18:33- What's 2,500 halved?- 3,075. No.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36Is it 375? I'm sure it's 375.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39'And another thing they haven't clocked

0:18:39 > 0:18:42'is that they have to pick out the dead, boiled silkworm pupae

0:18:42 > 0:18:47'from each cocoon as they spread out the silk threads on the frame.'

0:18:47 > 0:18:52- Do you know what these things are that the lady's picking off?- Bugs.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- That's the dead silkworms.- The pupa. - The pupa.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Their dead pupas.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01'These silkworm pupae would have come out of the cocoons as moths

0:19:01 > 0:19:04'if they hadn't been killed in the boiling process.'

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- It looks kind of gross. - It looks a bit gross.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09- I think they look like cockroaches. - Yeah.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11I think the girls are going to win.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13All right, guys. Ready to give it a go?

0:19:13 > 0:19:15ALL: Yeah.

0:19:15 > 0:19:16- A good try?- For the last time.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Last push. Off you go.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23'So, who is going to be able to overcome the gunge factor,

0:19:23 > 0:19:25'and spread out the boiled cocoons

0:19:25 > 0:19:28'to make 20 pieces of silk floss hankies for the farm?'

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Argh! Stupid flies!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Flies are killing me.- Ooh, flies!

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Ugh.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Still alive?

0:19:37 > 0:19:40I don't like it when you crush their head off.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42I thought you weren't scared of them anymore?

0:19:42 > 0:19:47If they're a whole piece, it's fine, but when you crush their head off...

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Ugh! Head again, head again, head again.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Emma, if you damage the silk, it's wasteful.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Oh, there's two!- Urgh!

0:19:58 > 0:20:02I can't, I can't touch them.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Will gloves help, Emma?

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Emma, come on. Last task.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11With this task being their final task ever in the Philippines,

0:20:11 > 0:20:14I'm really hopeful that they do really well.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17I have real expectations, and I'm sure they can live up to them.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19They've come such, such a long way.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23You know, they do seem to have upped their game every time.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26It'd be nice if they do themselves proud on the final ever one.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Keep reminding myself that people do this every day.- Mm-hm.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40I'm sure they don't think it's any less gross than I do.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44I daren't put on any ones that break and stuff like that.

0:20:44 > 0:20:49If I was in a position where it was this or nothing,

0:20:49 > 0:20:53then I would just, like, have to try and do this as best as I can.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55They don't complain about anything,

0:20:55 > 0:20:59and that's actually something that's, like, really inspiring.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Just no. That's a no-no.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- 'That's it. Their hour is up.' - Oh, thank you.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09'They've all given it their best shot.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14'But who has made the most, and who has met the really high standards?

0:21:14 > 0:21:17'the kids have been called to see Ricky and Mrs Watanabe

0:21:17 > 0:21:18'outside the farm office.'

0:21:18 > 0:21:21The end of our time here at the farm.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Ricky, I know that you've helped them all out lots,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and you've kept a close eye on how they're getting on.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30And Mrs Watanabe?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Well, upon seeing them work for two days,

0:21:33 > 0:21:37especially today, they made silk cloths.

0:21:37 > 0:21:43Everybody really tried their best, and given the right training

0:21:43 > 0:21:48the right opportunity, I think the five of them

0:21:48 > 0:21:50could make good workers.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55Although today, it was Nathaniel who really made good effort

0:21:55 > 0:21:57and very good quality silk floss.

0:21:57 > 0:22:02APPLAUSE

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Nathaniel. Second day, second triumph!

0:22:05 > 0:22:09You've done really, really well at this farm. How you feeling?

0:22:09 > 0:22:13I think that it's really good that the boys have won one.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17And I think that it was about time.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Mrs Watanabe is saying that she sees potential

0:22:19 > 0:22:22in every single one of you, so you've all done amazingly well.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23Well done.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26APPLAUSE

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Ricky and Mrs Watanabe decided that you all worked very hard,

0:22:29 > 0:22:32and they would pay you all.

0:22:32 > 0:22:37- Thank you!- So, congratulations! - Thank you.- Wow!

0:22:37 > 0:22:43- There's 270 pesos, here.- Thank you. - Can't believe I got money...

0:22:43 > 0:22:44LAUGHTER

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Just under four pounds.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50So that's 4, 8, 12, 16, about 20 quid between you all.

0:22:50 > 0:22:55- Any ideas where you're going to put that 20 quid?- Straight to Bing.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57APPLAUSE

0:22:57 > 0:22:59'the kids are giving their wages to Bing,

0:22:59 > 0:23:02'who lives on the rubbish dump in Manila.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05'They've already paid to reunite her with her two eldest children

0:23:05 > 0:23:09'two days ago, not far from this silk farm on the island of Negros.

0:23:09 > 0:23:14'And now the UK kids have pledged to help Bing bring her children

0:23:14 > 0:23:17'back to Manila to live with her permanently.'

0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Well done, everyone.- Oh, well done.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Thank you for turning me grey.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- You ain't got no grey. - You were going grey.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27'When they all arrived in Asia three weeks ago,

0:23:27 > 0:23:32'most of the UK kids had never done a day's work in their lives.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35'And often they didn't seem to care about much beyond themselves.'

0:23:35 > 0:23:40According to Mr Ha, the two of you are not serious.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Not taking things seriously.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46With all due respect, we couldn't disagree more.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50Uh, could you stand up? We will proceed to production line.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Can you hear what he's saying? - My attitude?!

0:23:52 > 0:23:57- Hey, I can't use that. - I know, I'm sorry.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59You know, you're really wasting the cord.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01I've tried to untwine it, but...

0:24:01 > 0:24:03CLUCKING NOISES

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Like, cutting string, and trying to count,

0:24:05 > 0:24:08and then the guy comes over and talks to you,

0:24:08 > 0:24:10and you lose count, and you get really fed up.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15'8,000 miles, two countries and five factories later,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- 'these kids can hold down a job...' - Time over, tools down.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21'..respect a boss, and do what they ask,

0:24:21 > 0:24:24'live the life of a worker, and not complain.'

0:24:24 > 0:24:28So, the quicker I get done, the quicker the work, I can finish.

0:24:28 > 0:24:33'They go back to their families in the UK changed people.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35'Made wiser by the workers in Asia

0:24:35 > 0:24:39'who welcomed them into their lives, and wanted to show these kids

0:24:39 > 0:24:42'that the luxuries they take for granted at home come at a price,

0:24:42 > 0:24:46'and at a price we don't often see.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50'And now the kids are back in the UK,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53'the changes in them are there for their families to see.'

0:24:53 > 0:24:59If I'm just being horrible and spoilt and rude to everyone,

0:24:59 > 0:25:03it's so ridiculous, because I've seen how people live,

0:25:03 > 0:25:07and if I don't try and change my attitude,

0:25:07 > 0:25:10what does it make me look like? A horrible person.

0:25:10 > 0:25:15So, it did open my eyes, and I think that after that experience,

0:25:15 > 0:25:18it really showed me how much I don't know.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's not that I would go out of my way and say "thank you"

0:25:21 > 0:25:24because people in Southeast Asia have it so much worse,

0:25:24 > 0:25:28but I just do, because there's no point making an argument

0:25:28 > 0:25:33and being rude over things that don't matter and are just petty.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34Since Jonas has come back,

0:25:34 > 0:25:37he's a completely different child.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39In fact, I can hardly recognise him.

0:25:39 > 0:25:45He's polite, he's sensitive, he cleans the house, he Hoovers.

0:25:45 > 0:25:50His schoolwork is just so much better. He actually does homework.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53I think I used to use my Blackberry for, like, six to eight hours.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57As soon as I left the school gates, I'd be on it, until late at night.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Now it's just, like, whatever.

0:25:59 > 0:26:04Just leave it and hang out with family and friends and that.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06I think this trip has really been life-changing,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09and it's made her grow up in so many ways.

0:26:09 > 0:26:16She's more thoughtful, she's more focused, and she's more empowered.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's empowered her.

0:26:18 > 0:26:24Everything I buy and do, I keep on thinking about how lucky I am.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27I think the experience has affected Milly.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31I think that really brought home to her

0:26:31 > 0:26:33what it's like to be separated.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35The fact she was separated from me

0:26:35 > 0:26:38and her sisters and her family, as well.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41'All five kids are spending time raising money

0:26:41 > 0:26:45'to reunite Bing with her two eldest children.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47'Milly is even knocking on neighbours' doors

0:26:47 > 0:26:49'to tell them of Bing's plight.'

0:26:49 > 0:26:51"Hello, I'm Milly, I'm 12,

0:26:51 > 0:26:54"and recently I went to Indonesia and the Philippines.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56"I met a woman called Bing who lives in a slum

0:26:56 > 0:26:58"with her two babies and her husband,

0:26:58 > 0:27:01"so I've been trying to raise money to send to her.

0:27:01 > 0:27:04"She doesn't need much, please donate to Bing. From Milly."

0:27:04 > 0:27:07I have done car boot sales,

0:27:07 > 0:27:10knocked up and down the road for donations or for some money.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12The information's gone in the school magazine.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16So, hopefully awareness is just as important as money.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18I'm doing a sponsored cycle

0:27:18 > 0:27:21from Goole, where I live, to Market Weighton and back again.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25And that's 32 miles, and I've already got £104 in sponsors.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30I'm going to do a mufti day. I've already started planning this.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32For my whole school and the junior school.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39'Now as the whole experience has sunk in, it's made them realise

0:27:39 > 0:27:44'that they have choices and freedoms not available to many in Asia.'

0:27:44 > 0:27:48I'm still recognisably Jonas.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52But I think it's the most amazing experience of my life so far,

0:27:52 > 0:27:56and I really do think it's changed my perspective on so many things.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59In the Philippines, if you're poor,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02you're destined to be a farm worker

0:28:02 > 0:28:04or a factory worker.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06But here, you can change that.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08England has a lot of opportunities,

0:28:08 > 0:28:10and I really want to just take them.
