Chris Koch - If I Can spoke to UN Refugees in Nepal.  

In my first week in Nepal, I traveled to Dhangadi and Nepalganj and was struck by the lack of facilities for people with disabilities. It is sad to see many people with disabilities in Nepal living without citizenship.  If you give people opportunities for good education, they can become key and crucial individuals. No one should be ashamed because they are disabled. It happens, it’s a part of life. How you react to it is the key.

I want to give people with disabilities in Nepal confidence and let them know that they have the ability to do anything and live independently.
