Fallen, a story of destruction, sorrow and resilience
Piece by piece
The gesture of this man seems incomprehensible to most. But if you know Nepalis, then it is not so rare or strange.
They are equipped with an infinite patience that allows them to undertake tasks that for most westerners the mere idea would be unbearable.
It will take ages to accomplish even the minimum progress, but that is the way it is, and, as they say, a long run starts with the first step!
On the Roof
Everything is important, even a single brick can be reused.
Whatever has not been destroyed by the terrible quake, will be taken to the ground piece by piece by the people, to rebuild an entire life.
There is no hurry in their gestures, no haste, no rage, no fear, only hope and hope and hope.
These people deserve respect and admiration.

Resilience is something natural to Nepali.

Also the elderly are vulnerable, and they will suffer the most together with the kids during the upcoming monsoon season.
Left alone
Some of the older people lost all their family in the quake, and have nothing left, not even a roof under which they can take cover.
