This is the winter season in the high Himalayas. Tsharka village is covered in snow and the high passes that one must cross to reach the outside world are impassable. Many of the villagers and their families move to lower elevations during the winter months. Our School Coordinator Samdup Tsering spends the winter with his family in Kathmandu, preparing for the next school year. He must collect all the materials that students will need in the upcoming year — textbooks, notebooks, pens and pencils, art materials, sports equipment, and everything else — and package it for horses to carry. In April, he and the other villagers will return to Tsharka and get ready to start school at the beginning of May. In the photo, you can see that at the end of the school year in October, snow has already started to fall.
