Terrace Jumping

Terrace Jumping

When filming there are so many interactions that happen behind the scenes that connect people and make a difference. Recently we were in a remote Nepalese village filming, during a break I went for an adventure with the local children. They could not speak English, I just followed them on a tour of all of their favourite places. They taught me the art of ‘terrace jumping’. The mountains have terraces cut into them so that they have a flat area for farming and have walls 2 metres high, they are like giant steps. For us westerners to go down the terraces we tend to jump vertically which shocks our legs and back. The children smiled at me, grabbed my hands, we took a running leap and jumped off, the idea is to keep the momentum forward rather than down, this removes all the shock. You fall 2 metres, take a quick step and then jump off the next terrace, in a matter of 30 seconds we were at the river hundreds of metres below. The children were all smiling at me when we arrived at the river, I don’t think an adult had ever followed them before.

One never knows the experience of others. This photo shows a confident Cambodian girl I talked to recently. I simply asked her how old were her parents, this was her reply:

“My mother is 60, she works on a farm in a provence. She cries every day because she still loves my father, I have never met my father, he was taken by the Khmer Rouge. My mother worked very hard in a rice field to feed me, I never went to school. When I was 12 I went to work in a restaurant, I could not speak english so I had to cook and clean. I saved all of my money to send to my mother. My friend taught me a few sentences so that I could tell people in the restaurant that I wanted to learn more english and I needed more money, I am very honest and would explain to people that I would never go back to a motel with them, nothing like that, they just have to give and I would keep in contact and be their friend. Some foreigners gave me big money so I go to big english school, I cannot write Cambodian so very difficult for me as they usually teach that way first. After 2 years working in the restaurant and going to school my english small small good. I get better job. I got a loan and built my mother a new house, (12k), she is getting old and health no good, she has no husband to take care of her. I am about to get married to my boyfriend from France. I love him because he does not love money, he has good heart, love for money no good, have to love for heart. I will work in a very good restaurant in France, I send money to my mother, take care of my family. I have very lucky life, my husband very funny”
