Village Life In Earthquake Affected Areas

We have just returned from an area where the earthquake caused significant damage. Our four hour journey was two hours of 4 wheel drive track in two vehicles. It was a very bumpy ride!

I will let the pictures tell the story.

The drive through Kathmandu, traffic is very light due to the fuel shortage, but there is congestion at bottlenecks.

Swing in the middle of the road!

The classic Nepal photo - terraced hillsides.


Overloaded buses, also due to the fuel shortage

Our campsite, in the middle of the village of tin and timber



Our host, Puran (left), his friend Maka (right) and Maka's son (middle)
We stayed with Maka's family







Maka's mother, a cheeky lady!


Fiona has a go on the giant swing

Tea time

Ministering to the sick






Maka's niece. She had curled fingers and her little fingers on both hands stuck out the the side. After ministry and prayer, her fingers straightened. 


Woolen garments knitted in New Zealand, given out to the villages
