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!

Hope they will be able to resist… why do religions always have to convert and dominate one another… belief shouldn’t lead to that.
If I was to believe in anything I would be animist, nature is my temple, I might choose a tree for “god”

Ah, don't they look lovely in their traditional dress...........so colourful. The all look pretty happy to have their photo taken as well. Such a wonderful shot Diana.

I would probably be singing and dancing a lot if I were to drink some of that vodka type spirit as well :-)))
