He comes to Ramecchap every year for Dashain.

He moved to Kathmandu at 5 with his father (half day walking and half day by bus). As he saw a little he went to normally schools until 6. At 7 he entered in a special school for blind people in Lagankhel. There he learned braille script in 6 month. But later his teacher left and the other did not come it was very difficult to follow school. So his aunt who is Yeman’s mother and his father decided to bring them to DSA to follow classes in a better environment.
