Title:Santhal
Do you know how it feels to live in a world of uncertainty? If your children will be able to see the light of tomorrow? If you will have food on your table in the days to come? The indigenous tribe of Nepal lives and wakes up with this fear each day. A comfortless but much-needed reminder for all of us. Live their fear for a few minutes through this.
