In a heart-stopping moment that saved nearly 900 students, Nepal’s Principal Rajendra Dawadi made a split-second evacuation call after a colleague warned of an oncoming flood. When the torrent swept away his school—Trishuli Bazaar Secondary School—the decision proved life-saving. Though five students, a teacher, and a security guard perished nearby, Dawadi’s quick action spared hundreds from certain death. The disaster was triggered by a massive glacial collapse along the Nepal-China border, unleashing a deadly wave that killed over 1,300 people and left more than 5,500 missing. One student, Santoshi Dotel, narrowly escaped after crossing a bridge that vanished beneath the water, later reunited with her mother via helicopter. With no pre-existing evacuation plan and their school and land destroyed, Dawadi now faces the daunting task of rebuilding—not just a school, but a future—for his students, while grappling with the loss of everything they once knew.
