The bamboo rack alone weighs around 15 kg. The uncle-nephew duo are originally from Gaur and came to Kathmandu four years ago. They are currently residing in Ombahal. Sidulla joins to help Samim after he finishes school.
When asked why he left a comfortable life in his village to come to Kathmandu, Saidulla said, “The schools in our village do not impart quality education. Moreover, we don’t have income generating opportunities in the village. So, I came to Kathmandu to make my life better.”
