Though 16 year old Bal Kumar RaI is unable to use his arms he loves learning and dreams of attending his local school in Ward no 6 Solukhambu district. The education system in Nepal aims to teach literacy and numeracy to a basic universal level; however, local communities have created fee paying schools to advance the levels of education in their own communities. These are not elitist private institutions you might expect in the UK, the typical fee of £500 a year will simply pay the teacher’s salary and contribute to the up-keep of the school.

Unfortunately Bal Kumar RaI’s father passed away when he was in his infancy and his mother Rai Necha Bedghari Gabisa purchasesildenafil.com is unable to meet the costs of educating her son.
