Nunavut youth unscathed by London terror alert

Eight participants in the Nunavut Youth Abroad Program arrived in London last week in the midst of a massive security alert following terrorist bombs that killed about 50 people and wounded 700 others on the subways and on a double-decker bus.

The eight youths and two group leaders stayed in a hotel adjacent to Heathrow Airport before departing on July 8 for Otse, Botswana, where they will be doing volunteer work at an orphanage for six weeks.
