Description
His name is Arjun, 14 years old although he looks no older than 10. He is carrying a 30kg bag of rice. His horse is carrying 2 of them. I offered Arjun a packet of chocolate cookies which he promptly wedged between the rice bag and his back. He said he would have them with tea later. It was heart-breaking to come across porters like Arjun who carried impossibly heavy loads up the mountain paths of Nepal.
All proceeds from the sale of this (and all other artwork) will be donated to help the poor people of Nepal. Thank you!
