The Rema-Kalenga wildlife sanctuary is a part of the trap hill reserved forest, the largest remnant of upland natural forest in the country. Its unknown to mass people because of remote access area. Their lifestyle is different and difficult than our city life. Children go to charity school and rest of the time help their family for livelihood. They are fishing, harvesting ,collecting fruits, and doing other supportive works for their family. Here is a little demonstration of them, fishing in the forest.

He believes self-learning is the best learning so that he started learning photography from e-books, online articles, video tutorials and observing photo works .

This photography reminds me my trip around Siem Reap area in Cambodia, where I had seen the same seen when local family of 4 was fishing in the muddy river bend trying to catch fish by building a dam from mud to stop them in the stream of water. This opened my eyes for the discrepancy in between poor and rich in our world. I really respect different cultures and their struggling with life in contradiction to our comfort and prosperity in Western Europe.
