Parade for World Disabilities Day Dec. 3

Students from the Naxal Deaf School as well as others in the deaf community marched in a parade for World Disabilities Day. There were also people representing many other disabled communities-- one of the prominent examples is Shiva Santa Griya, a leper colony and home for people with disabilities. (One of my class 5 students lives at Shiva Santa Griya, but he is the only deaf person there.)

We marched from Basantapur Square (near the historic temples of Durbar Square) down Kantipath, one of the busiest streets in Kathmandu, to the Tundikhel Parade Grounds. After the parade, some of the older students met back at the school to play cricket.
