Meet Suman! Suman is a young boy living in Nepal. Suman lives near the Karnali River and must cross the river each daily to attend school, go shopping or visit the doctor.
Over the next two weeks we will read about how Suman must help make decisions regarding the river and how it is affected during monsoon season. When his grandmother falls ill and there's no safe way to cross the river, Suman is put to the test to use what he knows about soil and erosion to pick the best spot for a TarPul to be built.
