Food and blankets for Kanchi Tamang, aged seventy

22 January 2016

The elderly woman stands wrapped in the new blanket looking at the camera, with a demolished wall and houses behind her.

An elderly woman in a maroon jumper and purple woollen hat sits on the ground beside a bucket and a cooking pot amid rubble and scrap.

Four visitors stand around the elderly woman outside a corrugated iron shelter, a new patterned blanket draped over her shoulders.

Two men crouch and stand on waste ground talking to the woman, who sits on the ground beside a metal pot, with a pickup truck parked behind.

A young woman in a red and white top reaches up to wrap a blanket around the woman standing in the doorway of a tin shelter.

Three visitors stand with the woman on a track between buildings, the blanket around her, with rubble and a banana plant behind.

Three visitors stand either side of the woman on the track, one holding the blanket in place.

Visitors hand bundles of clothing to the woman and a neighbour outside a tin shelter hung with washing.

A group stands beside a white Deerwalk van on a lane, the woman in her new blanket among them.

Visitors gather closely around the woman beside a metal gate, one holding her arm.
