Gina, it was not possible to photograph each person with the
quilt. Sorry. So many people came and then the Elders called out to those who
were going to receive the quilts. And I had thought that I could
photograph each person, but it was raining. And so many people around, more
than 500 - and then everyone wanting to talk to me and so forth. It took me so
much effort to get everyone back together to get the group photo.
Another 30 quilts - still in another village and they took
it up by walking. But I could not get there as the bridge was swept away by
landslide and rain. It would have meant walking for 15 hours. So will do
so next visit. The quilts will wait there until I get there. Hopefully, I will
be able to photograph each one.
The photos don't matter, you can imagine the sense of excitement. My husband suggested a canvas bag with straps for carrying to transport the quilts next time.
