The school is safe

The school was luckily relatively unscathed by the recent earthquake in nearby Nepal.  However a large quake did strike Sikkim in 2011 as it falls on the same fault line along the Himalayas.

Here is a message from the principal.

We are all concerned about the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday, April 25th.  While we felt the tremors at Taktse, we want to reassure you that no one at school was hurt and there is only very minor damage to our building.  We are also fortunate that the families of our Nepali students are safe.  We very much appreciate the care for our well being expressed by many of you and want to make sure you know that we came through this tragedy safely.

 

Best,

Pintso Lauenstein-Denjonpga
