Ira, Samser and Kaji Rai, our trek Team

All from the same family, Ira (Rai) Samser (Rai) and Kaji (Rai) were with us for 10 days of trek. At seven, we've become a great family and I must admit that the attachment was done quickly, even if our culture seems to be more expressive in this regard. Kaji was our guide and translator (English / French) from Parfums d'Adventure, Ira and Samser our porters. Ira made ​​us think twice about our supposed “equipment” needs as he was impressive with “nothing”. I really enjoyed how Samser was responsible and the fact he was always at my side for photography. Kaji has superbly managed the trek and learned us a lot. We keep a wonderful memory of them, our shared days and nights, an aperitif we offer them or a meal they concocted for us. I made these photos including portraits – classical and Close-ups – to give them and we do not regret anything in making the trip with more than 15 kg extra shirts, jackets, shoes and other stuffs to offer. Anyway, I open a parenthesis: We have problems regarding donation in our society with for example the “Secours Catholique” always deserted and without reception at 10am; Emmaüs closed on Monday, “employees” who set aside donations for them; associations that refuse to move while you offer the entire content of a house; those who refuse clothing with a small hole under humanists and nauseous pretext, and so on! Short, ultra-social kills the basic meaning of the process. I no longer make donation in France – and I am far from alone, a simple internet search reveals this – the fault?: These associations and the demagogy of our country.
