Eighteen-year-old Sujan Nepali makes and sells photo frames for his living. A permanent resident of Sindhupalchowk, Nepali moved to Kathmandu after the 2015 earthquakes damaged his house. He had also quit his studies when in Grade VII after the quakes damaged his school. He never bothered to resume his studies. He is currently living in Patan with his friends. “Though I make photo frames all day, I earn barely enough to pay my rent. Life in Kathmandu is difficult, but I hope I will survive,” he said.
