This is De Pak he is 15 years old and is on the staff of a small hostel over in the far west of Nepal.
He does all the shopping and cooking, carries water for guests to wash, and for his cooking on the wood stove from the nearby river. In addition to keeping the place clean and in good repair.
He has a wonderful smile and will always help with whatever a guest will need.
Sadly De Pak never had the opportunity to go to school.
Like many children and young people living in remote areas of the country he had to earn some money just to keep food in the pot and clothes on his back.
Soon there will be a road into his village and this will open up more opportunities for people to work but also to visit. But for the next year or more its still a walk for 2 hours at the end of a 12 hour drive over very rough but beautiful country.
Thanks De Pak
