Out of Kathmandu Valley

We will be visiting our women producers in the Terai for the next couple of weeks. The Terai is a belt that runs east to west on the southern strip of Nepal (India border). There is loads of violence in this area due to the up-coming elections. Political candidates are harassed, killed and injured daily by rival parties. It is not a Hillary-Barack type of campaign here, as you can imagine. I can't imagine Hillary rolling a boulder down a hill, crushing Barack as he tries to climb up, carrying his party flag...or Barack splashing tar on Hill's face and locking her up in a tiny cow shed while starving and mentally abusing her. That is how they roll here...real lawless. We will hopefully stay clear of all of this... We will be living in the villages, amongst the people. No running water, electricity, phones, Seinfeld re-runs. Basic life. Let's get to it. The images should be great, stay tuned....
