Four little girls from school

Four little girls from school
Four little Kalash girls in their traditional dress/ school uniform, returning home after school. The village of Bumburate, in the remote mountainous Kafiristan region of Pakistan right on the Afghan border, is home to Kalash people.. They are a small, non Muslim ethnic minority of about 4000 people in this region of Pakistan. They are animists, and wear their traditional clothing every day, even for work in the fields. They are under pressure to convert to Islam, but sufficient of them are managing so far to resist. They also make the most extraordinarily pure 90% mulberry vodka type of spirit…which is delicious and occasions much singing and dancing!

Oh they are adorable in their traditional dress Diana. They look happy to have their photos taken too and have lovely smiles.

I think I might have a lovely smile too, - or maybe just a silly grin- if I sampled the mulberry vodka!!!!

I wish them strength to resist the pressure to convert to Islam.

Well captured, - a beautiful and colourful image.

Hi Diana
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition.
So nice that they are resisting pressures from outside which would destroy this way of life and their freedom.
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
