thank you for your comment. Jamuna is such an inspiration for me. She was hit by a truck at the age of 7 and lost both of her legs....no one in her village thought she should have the opportunity to attend school, but her father did! She had to overcome such difficult obstacles.
Hi Cecile! We have several small programs supporting children with deafness and blindness in several rural village schools. Also, I do work with Rotary International and many Rotary clubs in Nepal focusing on changing the negative perception about people with disability. This social marketing campaign is currently piloting in 7 districts of Nepal, both rural and urban. We are looking for funding to take the template nationwide. Let me know if you have any leads on funding….
Life can be difficult for people with disability in a society like Nepal. Through TRIFC.org we are providing educational opportunities and awareness of how "able" someone with a disability is....they aren't 'disabled', just 'differently-abled".

That's awful. How do those born with disabilities go on? Life is hard enough without prejudice from ignorant people.
