When Asif Khan walked across the stage at the University of Guyana’s (UG) convocation to collect his degree in International Relations (IR) just over a week ago, he believed it was not a victorious moment for him but one for other persons with disabilities.
Khan, 22, believes that he is the first visually-impaired person to have graduated with a degree in IR.
Khan’s journey to graduation day on November 16th, 2019 was a long and winding one but looking back he said it was worth every ounce of the physical, emotional and psychological energy he expended to get there.
