Samjhana and Shirjhana's father, who I wrote about earlier in this blog, died a few days ago. His wife who is ill with severe depression has returned to her village leaving the girls in the care of their uncle who is my friend Ram for now. Bishnu was about 40 years old but he would never have recovered from his brain injury and it would have been impossible for a 13 and 14 year to have looked after him and continued to go to school. I am hoping that the mother can recover enough to return and looked after her daughters.
