Long Kang Guppies by Sumei Chew

Description

This piece holds a dear place in my heart as it reminds me of a simpler time in my life when I was young; running bare-foot and getting totally muddy and wet amongst the natural streams and ‘long-kangs’ (or Malay for Drains)which were theming with lively colourful small guppy fishes.

The kids in Nepal are also a happy lot playing and exploring their natural surrounds perhaps just like I did. I hope with this work it could raise some funds so their carefree childhood could be worry-free and extended till they are adequately educated.
