Life on the Street

There are a lot of street children in Katmandu and this group was playing in Dubar square. It's really sad to see so many kids under the age of 12 or 14 standing in doorways sniffing glue. The amazing thing about them though is how they have formed their own street families. One group of about 6 kids would roll out their mat on the sidewalk every evening at about 8pm then they would all snuggle together and go to sleep. It's such a hard life for these little ones who are so new to the world.
