Am I My Brother's Keeper?

There is an overwhelming poverty in Nepal and education is often taken for granted. Many girls like her stay at home to tend to their younger siblings while their parents work.

I took this photo one winter afternoon in Jan Bahal, Kathmandu. I was walking along a crowded market place and noticed a door that leads to a temple. It was swamped with pigeons, tourists, vendors, worshippers and childen, who were oblivious of the cold nor of the smell of the birds, just being themselves and having fun.

I converted this image to Black&White to convey the message better.
