Oh Mummy ! let me d!&e before you

Oh Mummy ! let me d!&e before you The first time in her life, Tashi has been operating a hotel in Langtang village serving trekkers from various countries and local porters.On some days, she does not even get enough time to have lunch until 4:00 p.m. in her stone-carved, newly constructed hotel, which is called “Flavor Guest House.” Having lost five members of her family including her husband in the devastating earthquake in 2015, Tashi has found a means of livelihood from the hotel business, thanks to booming tourism in the region. Today, Tashi is the sole breadwinner of her three-member family and her life is gearing up to hold a promising future for her two children. Dressed in a traditional Tamang black skirt and a purple jacket with scarf on her head to protect from the cold, Tashi said her life had been turned upside down by the earthquake.”I lost my husband, my 2-year-old baby son, a loving mother-in-law and my own father and mother. I had never imagined that nature could be so cruel,” she exclaimed. Tashi’s husband was a trekking guide and was at his own home with his family members on April 25, 2015, when the quake shattered the Himalayan nation killing nearly 9,000 people. Tashi survived the disaster as she was five hours walking distance away from her village, on her way to the capital city to see off her two children prior to their new academic session.Her two children, aged eight and nine, study at a private boarding school in Kathmandu under the financial support of a foreign couple, who were once the client of her departed husband.
