Poverty made Lalringthara Fanai drop out. Seven decades later he walks 4 miles a day in school uniform to get the education he missed
The unmarried septuagenarian, who wears a school uniform and tie just like his fellow students, said he originally dropped out in Year 2 .i“My father was a farmer with limited means. I went to a local school, but couldn’t stay after Class II [Year 2], due to economic issues.
Years went by and Mr Fanai continued to work, until in 2018 he began to be frustrated by his problems understanding and reading daily news and current affairs in English. His teachers were impressed when he stepped into the school for the first time. “We were amazed and were in awe of him,” says Rosalind Ralte, his science teacher.
“The long walk of three kilometres is never tedious for me, due to my passion and eagerness to meet my classmates and friends every day.”
