The Oldest Schoolboy in Nepal 📚 #video#Nepal Durge Kami’s lifelong dream of going to school finally came true when he was in his late 60s. It’s been a long trip to school for the Nepalese man, both figuratively and literally speaking! Durge Kami makes a 2-hour journey from his village to the city of Pokhara to attend classes every day! When he was little, Durge’s family was too poor to send him to school. Then he had seven children of his own. Although he still struggles with money, the elderly pupil remains motivated and diligent. Durge’s friends aren’t impressed by his pursuit of education. Neither is his family. “At this time of life he should be caring for his grandchildren instead of going to school, he’s very selfish,” his daughter-in-law says. Tell us what you think in comments!

Nepalese Kidney Village #video#Nepal There’s an entire village in Nepal called the 'kidney village.' That’s because almost every household has a family member who’s sold a kidney here. Organ smugglers frequent Nepalese villages to convince their poor residents to sell their organs. Many are told their kidney will grow back like fruit after the surgery, or that sacrificing just one won’t affect them. Up to 10,000 kidneys are sold on the black market every year. Shyam Kumar Budhathoki was one such Nepalese villager. He was promised $6,000, but paid much less, and now he can’t walk because a problem with his legs appeared after the surgery.
