Just reading this article about another person who has died from a snake bite in Nepal.
It is not until you really start looking into something that you begin to understand the significance of the problem. Prior to being told about the number of people being bitten and killed by snakes throughout Nepal I had little to no understanding of the size of the problem - my eyes have certainly been opened now!!!
With all the international aid out there I find it incredulous that there is not someone (person or organisation) who has not taken up the cause to help the Nepalese people with this problem.
The philosophical side of me screams that if we still live in a world where you risk the chance of being bitten and killed by a snake while you simply sleep in your house then as a united global nation there must be a way that we can make this change.
Perhaps this is too much to ask - if so, how sad.
