01 MARCH 2017 - KHOKANA, NEPAL: A woman and her daughter walk into a new school in Khokana. The school, one of the few signs of earthquake recovery, was built after the 2015 earthquake destroyed the original school. Recovery seems to have barely begun nearly two years after the earthquake of 25 April 2015 that devastated Nepal. In some villages in the Kathmandu valley workers are working by hand to remove ruble and dig out destroyed buildings. About 9,000 people were killed and another 22,000 injured by the earthquake. The epicenter of the earthquake was east of the Gorka district. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
