School Safety Matters

Amid fear and confusion caused by the Rasuwa flood in Nepal, one story made me feel hopeful. A school principal helped save around 900 students from a flood. When I heard this, I thought about how scared those children must have been. I also thought about how brave the principal was to stay calm and help many students. My dad often tells me stories about his childhood in Nepal. He grew up in a village and went to a simple school. When my dad tells me these stories, I try to imagine what his school looked like. It is very different from my school in the United States.
