We have no reliable information yet on the day pupils, but school staff will be contacting families to check on their well-being.

All staff are safe, including those living in the hard-hit Choglamsar area.  The home of one staff member in Choglamsar is filled with mud to shoulder height. 
The clean up and relief work at the school has started with the help of staff, nuns and volunteers.  The school Principal, Prasad Eledath, says ‘it is like starting over again’.  He aims to restart the school in a phased manner, with class 8 commencing on Thursday, classes 6 and 7 next week, and classes 3-5 in 1-2 weeks.    The small children will start at a later date, once it is safe for them to do so.

The school’s solar electrical system had been turned off, and staff were having some difficulties restarting the system.
School staff met this morning to prepare an initial list of short and long term needs to put the school back on its feet.  We hope to post a list and initial budget estimate later today.

Annie Smith, who has been involved with the project since 1992, will be leaving London on Sunday 15th August to travel to Ladakh to take donated funds and to help.  The school support team in London is working to mobilise medical and disaster relief expertise to help Ladakhis in need.
