Exam 2
A month after the disaster that killed more than 8,000 people and left thousands injured and homeless, Chapagaun, which lies half an hour’s drive from Kathmandu, remains a village trapped in an anxious limbo. Many of the houses that withstood the quake and the dozens of aftershocks that have followed are too badly cracked to be habitable and their owners too fearful to set foot in them.§1
In the absence of permanent shelter, 200 villagers have established a temporary camp in a square, where they eat and sleep together. While the men scavenge the ruins and try to demolish them brick-by-brick, the women work if they can. Children, meanwhile, play in child-friendly spaces (CFSs), hundreds of which have been set up across Nepal by NGOs. Part-creche, part-school and part-psychosocial treatment centre, the spaces are designed to give children a fragment of the normality destroyed by the quake.§2
At the Chapagaun CFS, run by the youth-led NGO Restless Development, girls sing hill country songs and dance while the boys do jigsaw puzzles made from bits of cut-up calendars.§3
Neeva Shrestha is a 19-year-old student who was about to sit her exams when the quake struck. She spends her days helping the other children and attempting to reassure her mother, who is permanently dizzy and worried that the earth will split open again at any moment.§4
“I’ve been trying to keep my mum calm; I’m afraid too, but I am trying to be strong for her,” she says. “We feel safe in the camp even though everyone is too afraid to go back home.”§5
