We’ve been in communication with the group leaders and all is well – in fact very little has registered that there was an earthquake in Sikkim, but since it could potentially affect the group’s volunteering there, it’s something we felt prudent to communicate to parents and vicarious travelers alike.
As many of you may have heard, there was an earthquake centered in Sikkim yesterday that measured 6.8 on the Richter scale and brought down a few buildings in the capital city of Gangtok. The INDIA group is not scheduled to travel to Sikkim and as such should not be impacted by this event, that being said we’ll keep you updated via the blog for any relevant changes, but in general, we’re confident the group’s overall itinerary won’t be impacted.
Yours,
Ethan Knight, Executive Director
