Principal’s Bell Saved Hundreds | Hattiesburg News

A glacial collapse in the Himalayas unleashed catastrophic flash floods in Nepal, killing over 900 people and leaving thousands missing. Amid the chaos, school principal Rajendra Dawadi made a split-second decision that saved hundreds of students—ringing the bell to evacuate just moments before his school was swept away. Though deeply personal, as he’d once been a student there, his focus remained on lives, not loss. Parents wept with gratitude as he led them to safety. Across northern Nepal, 69 schools are destroyed, threatening nearly 19,000 students’ education. Dawadi now calls for psychological support and rebuilding, proving that courage and quick action can light the way forward—even after devastation.
