Berta Tilmantaite is a Lithuanian multimedia journalist, currently roaming is South America. She helps Nepal by selling their photos of the Himalayas and donates the money
“As a terrible earthquake hit Nepal, this is a tribute to the mountain country and its people. I will donate all the money for these prints to organisations and charities working now in Nepal.
We spend three weeks hiking in Himalayas two years ago this time. It is one of the best experiences I ever had. Because of that, it feels extremely sad now to see pictures of devastated country. But mountain people are strong as mountains themselves, they will survive and keep on living.”, say Berta.
