Earthquake Education at Foley

Through going to the Kanchenjunga Region many times I have become friends with the local people. Over the last few years, I have been a guide for the volunteers of the Kanchenjunga School Project. This year I was guiding two volunteers from New Zealand when the earthquake struck. When we visited the Tibetan refugee village of Foley there was extensive damage to the building and people were very scared of future earthquakes.

We provided an impromptu earthquake education presentation to the village, which was appreciated very much.

A great day at Kanchenjunga

I have just returned from a very memorable trip to the far east of Nepal and the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. We were in the middle of the Ghunsa Khola when the 2011 Himalayan Earthquake struck, this made the rest of the journey very dangerous with fresh landslides, but despite this, we traversed the Mirgin La Pass 4,925m and had an amazingly clear day at Kanchenjunga South Base Camp.
