“When they dug me out from the rubble and carried me home, I saw my son next to my shoulders and I started crying. Just to see my family again gave me hope. I am happy I am alive. I dont have my hand but I have a life and my family to live for. Some people come and tell me, ‘Oh poor you, you must be going through a lot’. I tell them I am happy to be alive. I tell them to have some tea and drink some water before they leave. I tell them not to worry about me.” (Suk Ram Gurung, Barpak, Gorkha) (2/2)
