When you drive around the ring road in Kathmandu,
there are two camps of people living in tents. Not proper tents, just
pieces of plastic in an A shape. This barely keeps off the sun let alone
the monsoon rain and the winter cold. With the people are numerous children
of all ages.
The people earn a living by making products from stone as you can
see pictured here. We need a Nepali group to advise us on the best
long term strategy to help these people. At this stage we are just
buying their products each week to help their cash flow, so they can
decide to spend this on what ever they see as their priorities.
