In pictures: Photos by the abandoned of Nepal

"My aunt was cooking sel roti - sweet rice flour doughnuts - for the festival of Dasain," says 13-year-old Sapana who like all the other young photographers, had never handled a camera before. "After my father died, we had no money so my mother and sisters moved to Pokhara.

"My mother is now a house mother at SOS Bahini. But my aunt stayed with her son at our one-room house in the village. We go back there to visit for Dasain."
