Nepalese grandfather goes back to school

Durge Kami is a Nepalese high school student - possibly the only one in the country with 8 grandchildren! He's 68 and decided to go back to school seven years ago to learn to read and write as poverty prevented him from going to school when he was a child. He says his learning is already changing his life. The 大象传媒's Surendra Phuyal braved the Nepali monsoon season to visit Durge at his hilltop home.
