While on a trip to Panauti village, I met this man and saw a shack he called his "home". He shared that he had constructed this house himself. While in the urban area, we look for latest gadgets and never ending comforts. We embrace our humanity by sharing pics on facebook whereas in the rural area, there isn’t even proper place to shelter their head and protect themselves from  the heat and the cold.

DEVELOPMENT | Society for International Development [Journal Recommendation]

'Development was founded in 1957 as the journal of the Society for International Development. Since then, the journal has provided a space for debate and cross-fertilization on the most topical issues in the development arena. By providing articles by a wide variety of actors such as development practitioners, academics and activists, it has brought to international attention issues that were left on the margins, being one of the first publications to talk about gender issues or the link between development and the environment.'

Last week, I went to the  burn ward of Bheri Zonal Hospital, Nepalgunj. I met with two kids who caught fire in their home. There is a small room with 6 beds. An AC is attached on the wall, but not in function since long time. I have taken few monochrome (B/W) pictures. Here are some pics from my collection.
