The Mendham woman who founded an orphanage and school for children in Nepal is safe — as are the school’s students.

BlinkNow, which supports the Kopila Valley Children’s Home & School in Surkhet, Nepal, said on its Facebook page Saturday those at the schools only felt a small bit of the 7.9 earthquake that’s killed thousands.

“A 7.9 earthquake just hit the Kathmandu region of Nepal,” BlinkNow wrote at the time. “We felt only a little bit of it here in Surkhet; we’re hundreds of kilometers away. All of our kids, our buildings, and our community are safe. Our heart goes out to everyone in Kathmandu and Pokhara. We hope all of our friends in the area are okay.”

BlinkNow was founded by now-28-year-old Maggie Doyn when she was 19, using her life savings. The school has grown to include 350 students from pre-K through the 10th grade, according to an announcement from the foundation reflected in the Independent Press earlier this month.
