Visit MS-Denmark

What is it with that kid Nandalal?

We see him run down to the stream to fish

We see him climb trees as high as Bhimsen tower with great precision

We see him run together with his best friend arm in arm down the hill

We see him beat up his friends

We see his friends beat up him

We see he loves school

We see he rejects his teacher

We see he has no eyes

We see him dancing

We see him tease the girls

It is his spirit that demands respect for those 
who take life’s challenges up 

It is his spirit that endorses the belief that 
we human beings are miraculous
