A girl with an aluminium water pot in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province.
Kay adds:
“I was travelling in the north of Pakistan some years back – not something for the faint-hearted – when I spotted this girl at the side of the road, fetching water for her household. She kindly allowed me to take her photograph.
“Life was and is hard for girls and women – although many of the Afghan refugees in Peshawar set great store by giving their girl children a good education. Something the Taliban did everything they could to prevent when they seized power.”
Kay has been an expat for nearly 30 years. She set up the British Expat website back in early 2000, whilst living in London and missing the expat life. These days she spends much of her time lugging computers and cameras around the world. (Dave gets to deal with all the really heavy stuff.)
