In Sankhu Most Lives Spared

Sankhu, a community of 10,000 people about 18 kilometers east of Kathmandu, estimate their community lost more than 80 percent of its buildings in the earthquake. In spite of this, Sankhu was fortunate because lives were spared. The adults were already working in the fields and the children were outside at play at the time of the earthquake.
