A story of teachers who can’t see the world but are illuminating people’s minds for years

As far as he can remember, there was darkness all around him. He used to think that his life would be over in the darkness. But, Kushal Tamang from Dang was gladly proven wrong. He has realised you can make your life brighter despite losing eyesight.

Born in the Nuwakot, Tamang became a victim of an epidemic spreading throughout the village. At that time he was less than a year old when the epidemic first caused pus around the eyes and, eventually, took away his eyesight. “There was no hospital for treatment at that time. My father took me to a witch doctor and he cast some spells.”
