movement taking the bodies. the father who could not face up to what happened, and his daughter. they went through the traditional 13 days of mourning but they struggle to find comfort. this is a homeless family finding it hard to rebuild its spirits. >> i would love to get my life back, but the repeated tremors have effected the mental state of everyone in the village. it's not just me, it's difficult to think about a plan to rebuild. we fear another earthquake. >> rishma now looks to her grandmother instead of her mother but what was left of her childhood may be gone with her loss. she makes sure her grandmother takes her medication. >> we don't have a home, and we're compelled to live like this. the rains are coming, and i don't know who will help us.
11:19 am
>> rishma also makes sure that the livestock next door are fed on time. there is little difference between the animal shelter and what has to serve as a family home these days. neighbors are determined to change that. some are demolishing what used to be their homes. self help is the only commodity in good supply. new building materials provided have been put to good use but it's only temporary shelter. rishma's father knows hard work is head of him but he has to rebuild his life before putting together the fabric that will support it. this is rishma's parent's house. this is going to have to be rebuilt again because of structural damage. this is his uncle's home, and that also needs a rebuild. and this house will have to go

11:23 am
have lost their place in the world. >> children across this country are having to cope with grief destroyed houses, and they're also having to cope with the damage done to their education. the government has instituted a ruling that colleges and universities are now supposed to be back up and running, and next sunday schools are to be up and running. they acknowledge that some schools will not be in a fit state to reopen, and many as well are not ready to go back to class. >> nepal's golicka's district has a picture-perfect landscape or at least it did before the earthquake. nothing has been spared, homes hotels and schools. this one housed more than 100 primary students from the area. beforebefore the aftershocks this school was already in need
11:24 am
of money for boundary walls equipment and furniture, so the school is not sure if the government will come through to rebuild the absolutely in crash. >> the mountain rains will be coming next month. the government will have to be sure to use the money to rebuild schools. >> but considering the lack of funding before the quake he's not count on it. the administration says they're already working on a plan. >> schools will have to be redesigned while others will have to be moved to safer spots. it's hard to say. >> getting the schools ready even temporary ones is one thing. but preparing students to come back is something different as most have been too busy dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake to focus on school. up the road from where his home used to stand this boy left the
11:25 am
school in kathmandu after the quake. the shock aftershock destroyed his home and the books that were in it. >> there is no time to study even if i wanted to. >> in kathmandu some schools are ready to open. but the books and uniforms of some students are buried in the rubble of their homes. without them they can't attend classes, and they don't believe that's fair. >> i have dreams like anyone else to study and take care of my family. but once my school opens i won't be able to go. it's not a good feeling but there is nothing i can do. >> life has never been easy here. today is another day-to-day struggle for most people. and now the worry of their children's future, their education will be marked by the earthquake waker quake too. al jazeera nepal. >> what strikes everyone when
