Illiterate Ramji Manjhi Teaches Foreign Languages to Begging Children in Bodh Gaya

• Ramji Manjhi, an uneducated man, runs a free school in Bakraur village, Bodh Gaya, for children who previously begged.
• The school teaches Tibetan, Nepali, Hindi, English, and Mathematics to 180 Mahadalit children from classes 1 to 8.
• Children, who once begged near Mahabodhi and Sujata Temples, now learn foreign languages to become self-reliant and potential tourist guides.
• Manjhi learned Tibetan while working in Delhi 35 years ago and later repaired an old Shepherd School building to start this initiative.
• The school's condition for enrollment is that children must stop begging, transforming their lives through education.
