From the principal of the Marshyangdi School, Sonam Lama:
Hope you are in good health and doing well. It has been five days now after the devastating earthquake jolts everything in Kathmandu and its surrounding districts. Just now the electricity has restored at our place and dared to write our very loved once about our situation in Nepal. It’s unbelievable,very devastating and deadly shocks. I feared many students ( around 10 to 15) from Langtang who are still left to report to school after the session ending’s break. I can’t explain in words how we spent those five days with fear and sorrow. As the nation is trying to overcome from the deadly shock caused by the 7.9 Richter scale in magnitude during the first day and numerous after shocks including 6.9 and hundreds after wards during last last five days. Thousands lost their lives, thousands trapped inside collapsed buildings/mud houses in villages, thousands wounded. It’s beyond imagination and believes. No words at all. We can just pray and think for the best. Thousands and thousands of houses in villages
have collapsed. Thousands of people lost their beloved life. No calculation for the lost of properties and houses. I am very very sad/shocked that I feared mostly with the situation in Langtang region as it was double troubled by the AVALANCHE from the Langtang Mountain. Lots of unconfirmed news coming in. Entire village of Langtang has been covered by snow after the first day of shocks. I fear mostly with it…..Hundreds of villages (including our children) feared dead including hundreds of tourists at Langtang Valley. The update news will come after few days as the relief works troubled by rains/bad weather every day. It’s raining and everyone staying outside the open place with fear of life. No one staying at home from the first day. We have been staying at the openplace since the first day ( From Last Saturday). Will write you more and about our children in Langtang after few days.. WE LOVE YOU …. PLS.
pray for us… Sonam Lama
