In April 2015, during the earthquake that forever changed our present and futures, the Book Bus was in Gorkha – the epicenter of the earthquake. The Book Bus arrived in Gorkha, a year after, with what had anchored the sanity in those terrifying hours and days and what had given hope to the children and, in turn, their community: it brought art.
