In this Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2016 photo, a priest helps Shivendra Kumar Mandal, 3, nicknamed Siban, perform cremation rituals before lighting the funeral pyre of his father Balkisun Mandal Khatwe, at Belhi village in Saptari district of Nepal. Balkisun died in his sleep in Qatar, where he was working Habtoor Leighton Group, loading trucks to build new highways.

The Mandals live eight people to a room in one of about 700 mud-and-stick homes set among dry, sparse rice paddies. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)
