I met her at a yearly festival called ‘Gai Jatra’ where they celebrate the death of a loved one. This year they paraded with pictures of more children, more parents and many of those who lost their lives in the earthquake.

“My family lost our home and the shop after the earthquake. I was there when it happened, we lost everything. Now we are finding ways to rebuild our home again but it’s hard as we can’t afford it.

Nepali are poor but we are strong people. We may smile on the surface but we are sad inside.”

What’s your name?
Roshni, it means light.

(Bakhtapur, Nepal)
