Chhitup Dorji Lama has been partially sighted since his birth. He was born in a very remote village in Humla, Karnali Providence , Nepal. In the whole district, there were no special education, no disabled friendly environment, no motivated and experienced teachers who were willing to assist him during his schooling. Being partially sighted, He struggled a lot, since he had to work much harder than his sighted school mates. He had never heard about Braille. Instead he tried to read and write like all the other children, using a scrap of wood painted black and scratching on with chalk, or even mud tablets scratched with a stick or branch. During his elementary school phase he didn’t have notebooks and pencils. Learning computer skills was just like a story in a fictional world. He had to be assisted during examinations and had my exam papers written by sighted persons. This still counts for blind students all over Nepal.
