In this second installment of our 10-part series, "Journey to Daduwa," we get a chance to show you the reason why we're walking to Daduwa, instead of being able to ride the bus. Rainy season in Nepal generally lasts from June to September, and the consistent rains cause all kinds of problems for villagers that live in mountainous areas. Hundreds die each year in mudslides and flooding, and beyond that the the lives of thousands more are adversely affected by blockages to roads and trails which essentially cut them off from food, supplies, medical services, and other needs located miles away in larger population centers. Life in Nepal is a constant struggle to overcome obstacles, and these mudslides are just one very tangible example of that struggle.
