The Benefits Will Payoff

The Benefits Will Payoff

It is a grand day. Women from all over Nepal that have lost a husband come to Kathmandu as devoted Hindus to commemorate.

For this woman her task is doubled. She begs for food and receives small coins. At the end of the day her metal bucket will fill to the brim. But first she must endure the smoke from the cremations, and the hot sun. Water is scarce and many women will faint, but the benefits of being there will payoff for her. After all it is a source of income where there is little for the aging.
