02 MARCH 2017 - SANKHU, NEPAL: Laborers carry bricks to a home being rebuilt in Sankhu. Each basket weighs about 80 pounds. Almost all of the work is being done by hand. There is more construction and rebuilding going on in Sankhu, west of central Kathmandu, than in many other parts of the Kathmandu Valley 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
