Deep at the foot of the Himalayans, the border of the Kingdom of Sikkim and Tibet: A very young girl carries her infant sibling as she climbed up the hillslope. They do not go to school. The nearest school was miles away, and had no electricity nor water. Her parents worked at the farm. This girl helped to care for her younger siblings. They served salt tea to visitors (no cream). Respect for the local 'Lama' is prevalent and runs deep. "He helps us protect our crops".
