Jethal, Ein Dorf Erholt Sich: Photography Books by Julian Bound

Von Julian Bound

JETHAL, EIN DORF ERHOLT SICH - JULIAN BOUND

In der nördlichen Grenzregion von Nepal liegt das Dorf Jethal vor den schneebedeckten Gipfeln von Langtang und der Gaurishankar-Berge im Himalaya. Die Geschichte von Hilfe und Wiederaufbau für Jethal nach der massiven Zerstörung des Dorfes durch die Erdbeben vom 25. April und 12. Mai 2015 ist ein Zeugnis für den erfolgreichen Kampf einer Gemeinschaft gegen die Not. Güte, Mitleid und Großzügigkeit von anderen Menschen half dem Dorf nicht nur beim kompletten Wiederaufbau, sie führte darüber hinaus zum Bau von fünf Schulen und einem Gesundheitszentrum im Herzen von Jethal. Über einen Zeitraum von achtzehn Monaten dokumentiert "Jethal - Ein Dorf erholt sich" mit den Mitteln der Fotografie die Wiederauferstehung von Jethal, das dabei unterstützt wurde von UKALO – Aufwärts e.V. aus Deutschland, vom Singapore Red Cross, dem Romanian Mountain Club, Close To My Heart aus Norwegen sowie von internationalen Freiwilligen, die ihre Zeit und Energie spendeten, um den Menschen von Jethal zu helfen, in Sindhupalchowk, Nepal. Bilder und Originaltext Julian Bound, deutsch von Dr. Marianne Weber-Keller.
