Nepal Headmaster's Quick Action Saves 1,643 Students Amid Devastating Floods
On August 26, devastating flash floods triggered by a glacier collapse swept through Nepal's Nuwakot district, destroying a three-story school building and causing widespread damage. Ravindra Dadabi, the school's headmaster, acted swiftly by ringing the school bell, evacuating 1,643 students and staff to higher ground, and warning bus drivers to turn back. His quick response ensured all students survived despite the destruction of the school and surrounding infrastructure. The floods resulted in hundreds of deaths and many missing across Nepal and Tibet.
