Chira in Shikhan. Hers is one of the families already visited by the photographer in 2001. Her father Gholam passed away a year after the summer of 2001. The girl firmly clutches the first picture she has ever seen of the father she cannot remember. This week her mother had to sell a 7 kg bag of rice to pay for Chira's visit to the 'doctor', a trader without any medical training who buys medicine in town to sell to the villagers. The nearest clinic is half a day trekking across the mountains; the closest surgical hospital is several days through equally rugged terrain.
