Earthquake. What’s more, his
father, after being pulled from
the ruins, stricken with emotion
and pain at seeing their home
turned to rubble suffered a
nervous breakdown. The health
system in Nepal is terribly basic
and Gokul’s father perished
soon after, suffering from a
heart attack brought on by the
stress of the realisation his
family had nowhere to live. He
was 44 when he died, leaving
Gokul to support his mother.
Presently, Gokul’s mother

returns home to help plant rice
and potatoes to support his
mother.
The cost to completely rebuild
his family home is just £6,000.
