Losing his sight because of an eye disease at just three months old could have defined Nyima Wangdu's life. Instead, he chose a different path.

Through sheer determination, Nyima mastered English and became the first visually impaired Tibetan TEDx speaker, sharing his story on global stages to inspire others. But his journey didn't stop there. He went on to climb snow mountains and run marathons, proving through action that limitations are often self-imposed.

On this year's national day of assisting persons with disabilities, let's discover Nyima's remarkable story and hear his powerful message.
