Look, read and weep

BBC photo by Nepali girl
On the BBC world news site, there is a photo essay with photos taken by Nepali girls. I had not realized what a desperate situation those girls lived in. You’ll be amazed at what they’ve done with a camera, but don’t neglect to read the text.

What can ordinary people like us do to help these girls? When will countries around the world, especially those in desperate straits, realize what a resource they waste when they don’t take care of and educate and free the girls?

The photo above is by Parvati in Pokhara.
