Blind Kids
I wondered about that when I saw you hiking up Everest with six Tibetan blind kids. Yeah, I got into a little bit of trouble because the BBC called me and they were asking my comment because Nepal banned disabled people from climbing Everest. It's more the idea that when you're like subsistence farming, barely scraping by barely enough food to survive, if you have a kid who's born blind or disabled, well, guess what? They're like another mouth to feed. And so, yeah, these kids were pretty hideously picked on and ostracized.
