Escape over the Himalayas

These children, including a seven-year-old, climbed over one the tallest mountains in the world.

Why?

Because they needed better education.

Because it was their parents' will.

Because if they didn't, their identity would be lost, perished and extinct.

So they kept walking in the snow for weeks, suffering from frostbites, risking their fingers, toes and sometimes even life.

What was worse was the fear of getting caught.

With the world's most influential country being in debt of one of the richest, it has become even more unrealistic for these children to be able to go back to their own contry again.


The children now live in India.
