Sarada and Nirmala
Niharika Shishu Kunja High School, Balaju Bypass, Kathmandu, Tuesday, September 29th, 2015
Sarada teaches the Nursury class at Niharika, while Nirmala moves from class to class as needed. I was talking to them about taking their photo together, but they needed a little convincing.
I really like the smiles in the candid "convincing" shot that I got (above).

Outside of Sabina’s house, I ran into Anish with her hajurama [grandmother] Gunmaya.
I think Anish wasn't quite sure what to make of me.

Sobita
Kathmandu, Monday, September 21st, 2015
My friend Sobita holding her families' new puppy, Bhotu (which means muscular or strong). Sobita is a teacher in a "lower secondary" school (which means that her students are children in grades 5–8). Sobita is quick to a smile and a laugh, and she and her husband have three lovely children with the same great quality.
