Part V
Firoza Khatun, 60
I made a polaroid of Firoza, but she is illiterate and the only person in her family able to write was at school that day, and no-one else present (there was a gathering of about 20) was literate either. So the polaroid has been left blank. It’s very difficult to have a voice without education.
Rohit Bastola, 61
“I am thankful, people from all over came together to organise the LPEP survey program at my home. It was very difficult ages before, but there is medicine for the disease now and I am taking it. I wish this program will help prevent spreading of the disease. (Jiwan, Rohit Bastola’s son as the writer)”
