It was an earthquake that finally made me
stop working tonight….I’m in a rather beautiful mountain top resort 5 miles
outside Kathmandu undertaking data analysis for a research project Children
Unite is running. The project has been
running for ten months, 47 life story interviews and four focus group
discussions have been held with child domestic workers here. It is an exciting moment for me, as I didn’t
take part in the actual interviews, this is the first time I’m hearing what the
children said but it is also laborious as we’re having to scan through all 47
interviews (some of which are 6 hours long) looking for similarities in the
stories and turning these into ‘codes’.
So, when the building started to shake we decided it was a ‘sign’ from
the spirits that we should stop for tonight!
More tomorrow…and I will report regularly while I'm here if I have much of a brain
left to write….
