This will be the last extract from Laxmi’s story for a little while as my travel journal has been on hiatus and I’ve got a lot to catch you all up on. If you’re new to these parts or want to contribute, please check out the Kickstarter campaign on the left hand sidebar. Or you can buy a print of the comic using the buttons underneath each day’s tier.
By the way, newcomers: read from the start of my Nepal diary by clicking here.
Attention all Kickstarter supporters: a new update will be out tomorrow (complete with new rewards too).
For background to Pushpa’s groundbreaking home for children whose parents are in prison, check out this earlier comic from a few weeks back. And happy Tihar one and all!
An experiement: all panels uploaded from my iphone without touchups, using the Cam Scanner app. First two panels are directly lifted from my sketchbook, as photos (especially of the funeral party) felt wrong.
As the chaos of moving to the other side of the world dies down, I can get back to covering the stories I’ll be looking into over the next few weeks. First up is a feature on the children at the Early Childhood Development Center, run by CNN Hero of the Year 2012 finalist Pushpa Basnet. Who also happens to be one of the most light-hearted and humble people I’ve met. Expect an in-depth comics treatment of some of the kids’ stories soon.
