“My son volunteers as a health assistant in the Gandaki Hospital. It has been 10 months now. He left early in the morning today. Sometimes he does the day shift and sometimes the overnight shift. He has been continuously at it. Sometimes he tells me, “Mother you must think I go to the hospital and hang around but you have no idea. What I do all day is hundred times difficult than ploughing the field.” (Kamala Bastola, Bhalam, Kaski)
