Every morning Durge Kami who lives in Syangja, Nepal, wakes up, puts on his school uniform, combs his hair and prepares for school. That’s the life of almost every school goer, right? But Kami is not just another schoolboy. He is 68 years old and his classmates are young enough to be his grandchildren.
Durge Kami’s dedication to follow his dream is an inspiration for each one of us who’s always finding some excuse or the other to give up on our passion. Poverty prevented Kami finishing his studies as a child and achieving his goal of becoming a teacher.
The father of six and grandfather of eight goes to school six days a week to complete his studies and escape a lonely home life following the death of his wife. Kami says he wants to study until his death, adding he hopes it will encourage others to ignore age obstacles.
