This is from a trip we took to visit a facility that Karnor Carpets supports that trains people with disabilities to weave carpets.  The organization is funded by others….not the Nepali government and truly requires support so that people can have a skill and earn a living.  We have things like disability in the USA …..not every country has such programs.  Also there is a wonderful organization called EPSA follow them and learn about how you can help EPSANEPAL.org @epsa_nepal_
