Dadagaun is an isolated, mountainous village in Nepal with a large ethnic minority population and historically limited opportunities for education and income-generation. In this small village lives the incredibly ambitious and visionary Dhorje Tamang. Dhorje began teaching in Dadagaun Village when he was just 16 years old, out of a small tent in his backyard with hardly any materials or support. After decades of hard work, Dhorje\u2019s dreams have become a reality; he is now the principal of Bal Vikas Samaj, the only school in Dadagaun, with all the local children regularly receiving high-quality education and the entire village rallying behind them.<\/span><\/p>\n
