Saujanaya

May 28, 2023 by Teacher Jack in Gerkhutar

Saujanaya
Gerkhutar, Nepal, November 5th, 2018

Saujanaya lives in Gerkhutar, which is up on the hill east of the main road when you are walking from Betrawati to Trishuli.

I had climbed the hill to see if I could find Prava and Pratima, a pair of sisters I had taken photos of many years ago (but it turns out, while I found their house, they are now both living in Kathmandu).

I met Saujanaya as she was in front of her house holding her report card printout from her school. She had almost all A’s and A+’s. I applauded her and told her how great that was that she did so well.

Before I left, I asked if anyone in the family had an email address so I could send copies of the photos I took. Her father (or grandfather) pictured here, wrote down an email address in my photo journal.

I tried to email the photos to the email address, but I got an auto-reply message from Gmail that the email address was not good.

If anyone has an email address or Facebook account for the family, please let me know!
