Nepali School Takes a Stand for the Visually Impaired

And the blind children of Nepal are often ignored within their own country because of the lack of resources and funding. Blind children in rural Nepal often have very few opportunities to receive an education and an opportunity for a future beyond the walls of their family home and begging in the streets. Rebuild Nepal Education Foundation is hoping to make a palpable difference in this disparity, one child at a time.

When I traveled to Nepal in June 2018, the first thing I noticed once we were driving out of the bustling city of Kathmandu and into the countryside, were the golden fields of rice. I had never seen rice fields, and this former Iowa farm kid was intrigued. I asked our driver to pull over so I could get a closer look. The fields were all massive and people were harvesting the rice all by hand.
