Born blind is tough in any case. But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a
small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and
therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth's parents loved their son and refused to give him up.
Instead, they encouraged the blind boy to dream big and reach for the star.
Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twentyfouryearold man is the founder CEO of
Bollant Industries.
Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard
challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students
and teachers didn't quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored
and often spent the entire day alone.
Concerned this would hold back Srikanth's development, his family decided to send him to a special
school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in
speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached
10th grade, because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student. Not wanting to give up, Srikanth
took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.
Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Srikanth set up Bollant
Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of
whom are physically challenged.
Being disabled doesn't mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says,‘Srikanth, you can do
nothing，’ I will look back at the world and say I can do anything，” says the young man.

A Kenyan teacher who gave away most of his monthly salary to poor people has won a $1million
Global Teacher Prize.
In 2016，Peter Tabichi came to Keriko Mixed Day Secondary School，a public school，in a
faraway Kenya's Rift Valley. The school had just a single computer and had problems connecting to the
Internet. It had no library or laboratory as well. To make matters worse，the students came from poor
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂families where basics like food and clothing were hard to come by. While these difficulties would have
caused most people to leave quickly，Tabichi stayed.
Realizing that starving kids make for poor students，the teacher began using as much as 80 percent
of his monthly salary to buy food and learning objects for them. He set up a science club to get kids
interested in the topic. “Our laboratory does not have everything，but I encourage them to think wider and
use what we can get locally. ”
Tabichi and other four teachers regularly visit lowachieving，atrisk，students at their homes to
provide one onone help and to understand the difficulties these children face daily.Tabichi also encourages
parents to allow girls to continue their highschool education.
Tabichi's efforts have made a difference. School registration (注册)has more than doubled to almost
400 now since he came. In 2017，16 of the 59 graduating students went to college，while in 2018，the
number rose to 26. In 2017，five students qualified(有资格)for the Intel ISEF (International Science and
Engineering Fair). This year，two other students will compete in the 2019 Intel ISEF to be held in
Phoenix，Arizona.
The teacher，however，owes his success to his students，saying，“I am only here because of
what my students have achieved. This prize gives them a chance. It tells the world that they can do
anything. ” As would be expected，Tabichi plans to spend the prize money on his school community and
to feed the poor.

think of as “reality”.
