Discover the inspirational journey of Sanduk Ruit, a man born into the lowest rungs of society in a remote Himalayan village in Nepal. His life is a testament to resilience and vision, as he overcame immense challenges to become a pioneering figure in the field of ophthalmology.
After enduring long treks to attend boarding school in Darjeeling, Ruit's determination led him to one of India's top medical colleges. It was here that he met the remarkable Australian ophthalmologist, Fred Hollows. Under Hollows’ invaluable mentorship, Ruit developed a lifelong mission: to restore vision to the poorest of blind individuals across Nepal and the broader Asian continent.
