Perseverance and hard work are the key factors in the extraordinary triumph of Nibin Mathew, a visually challenged youth from a farming community in Wayanad.
He won the bronze medal in blind tennis at the World Games of International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) that concluded in Birmingham in the United Kingdom recently.
Nibin, born partially blind, lost vision in his left eye at the age of 10 when a cricket ball struck his eye while playing at home. In 2012, he lost vision in his right eye due to glaucoma, becoming totally blind.
