One Human Family
The next set of stories is a collaboration between Stories of Nepal and The BlinkNow Foundation. The BlinkNow foundation provides schooling and a loving, caring home for orphaned, impoverished and at-risk children in Surkhet, Nepal. The organisation also provides community services to reduce poverty, empower women, improve health, and encourage sustainability and social justice. I spent my time in Surkhet and traveling westward sharing stories surrounding women and children, their families, the struggles of mothers and issues pertinent to parenthood. I also talked to individuals who found inspiration through their own struggles and have committed themselves to bring positive change in people's lives thus empowering communities. We will be calling this series #OneHumanFamily.
