Abdolvahed Esmailpour is in the seventh grade of Baesath School in town of Saqes in Kurdestan of Iran. Abdolvahed lost his parents during the Iraqi air raid on Saqes in the Iran-Iraq war. When he was in first grade, he went with his grandmother to a wedding. Abdolvahed, who had gone to the minefield to play, took one of the mines and, thinking that it is a toy, he hit the mine with a stone and it exploded in his hands. The explosion made him blind and cut off his both hands. Aboldvahed wanted to continue his study but the school for the disabled didn't admit him. Mr. Akbar Zareie, the teacher of Boostan school of Saqes, takes him in and taught him to read the Braille alphabet by feeling it with his lips. He finished the elementary school with success and is now in the seventh grade and the best student of the school.
