Soma, Goma and Akash B.

Soma (girl) and Goma (girl) are both in the first grade and are nine and seven years old respectively. Their brother Akash is 14 years old and in the third grade. Their father works as a low level labor and earns about three dollars per day. Of course, that is not enough to support the family of five. Their mother is looking for work as a servant to supplement the family income, but has not met success. Like many families, they recently moved to Kathmandu in search of a better life. They rent one very small room, which is in poor condition. They manage their life with very few possessions. The children didn’t have enough to eat, enough to wear and had no toys to play with at all. But all the children are obedient and help their mother to do chores. Thanks to the sponsorship of a family in the USA, Soma, Goma & Akash are able to attend school, and the family is getting a more nutritious diet.
