Dorji Lama had a hard time growing up in a small village in the steep Himalayan foothills. As a child, he was ostracized due to his disabilities, and his family kept him at home to avoid being harmed. This was before he arrived at Bodhisattva in Action (BIA),  one of our partner charities in Kathmandu. A teenage boy working in the Arts Department, Dorji, had been diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy (CP). Dorji, like many with CP, has challenges with everyday tasks such as walking, bathing, and eating.
