Pipalgaon - near Jumla. These photos are made in the part of the village where only Dalits live - untouchables. I always found this village very special.











These pictures were made on my second journey to Jumla where we visited the villages Luma, Rini, Padhmara and ....

German »Govinda Development Aid Association« and nepalese »Shangri-la Association« that I work with take care of these 4 villages. in 2006 they started their community based integrated development project. These are the objectives of this great program:

To give Karnali Technical School (KTS) students practical application possibilities of their abilities and talents in the fields of agriculture, health and engineering in the rural communities.

Establish local level connection with the population for the lasting development of the communities

Support Nepal’s »Tenth five year plan« for poverty reduction in the Karnali zone by awareness-raising measures and capacity building for disadvantaged sub-populations.

Provide supports to the local population by means of participation of local human resources with knowledge and skill transfer in the sector of agriculture, health and engineering to enhance their self-confidence in recognizing own strengths and resources.

Create lasting co-operation between the KTS, local development authorities and stakeholders and community people.

Develop a model village in the long that exemplifies for other villages in Karnali region.

These photographs were made during the work on my documentary »The forgotten children of West Nepal.«.
Many thanks to all the kids and people in these rural villages for their warm welcome. And special thanks to Rocco Umbescheidt and all Shangri-la people. Without them I would have never made it to these places.
