Material World: Bhutan

Nalim holds her two-year-old daughter Zekom in a traditional hand-fashioned back sling as she works at the butter churn. Published in Material World: A Global Family Portrait, page 77. Nalim and her daughter Sangay care for the children and work in their mustard, rice, and wheat fields. Namgay, who has a hunched back and a clubfoot, grinds grain for neighbors with a small mill his family purchased from the government. From Peter Menzel's Material World Project.
