2. You'd
be surprised how dangerous the roads some of the children have to go to
school.
3. For
example, in Sumatra, Indonesia, about 20 students with a strong will to
knowledge must pass on a rope at a height of one meter above the river
to get to his class in the city of
Padang.
4. Incidentally, this is not all - after crossing
the river, they should still have 11 kilometers through the
jungle. Thus the local children go to school for two
years, after the rains have washed away are here suspension
bridge.
5. In an
Indonesian village Sangiang Tanyung children living on the other side of
the river Siberang, must cross a broken suspension bridge to get to the
other side where their school.
6. Of
course, the other side can go the other way, but then the road they will
take half an hour more.
7. But
these kids do not want to be late, so they choose a short but dangerous
journey.
8. But
there is good news: the largest steel producer in Indonesia - the
company «PT Krakatau Steel» decided to build a new bridge to replace the
old one, which was damaged in a flood in January
2012.
9. In an
Indonesian village prespokoynenko children ride their bicycles on the
aqueduct, which separates the village from the town of Suro Plempungan
in Java.
10. Children prefer this way, because it is
shorter, though this aqueduct and is not made for people to walk on
it.
11. And
even though it is dangerous, kids prefer it, not a workaround, which is
longer than 6 km.
12. In the
Philippines, children in the primary schools use inflatable tires to
cross the river on their way to school in a remote village in the
province of Rizal, east of tManily.
13. Pupils
have to walk at least an hour to get to school (and
back).
14. But if
the river overflows its banks due to heavy rains, the students have to
miss classes or take refuge in the homes of
relatives.
15. The
local community has filed a petition to the government to build a
suspension bridge and make the transition easier, faster and
safer.
15. In
Filipino children, at least, there is the bus. And
these Vietnamese children there and that. Dozens
of children from 1 to 5 class swim twice a day to get to school and
back. In the town Trong Hoa road to school is across
the river. And the clothes and books are kept dry, the
children put them in bags and swim across the river almost
naked. On the other side, they get clothes and put on
her. This river is 15 meters wide and 20 meters
deep.
17. These
are the bridges, gondolas quite common in Nepal, where almost no good
roads. Children use them to get to the other
side. For decades, this lack of security led to
numerous accidents. Fortunately, several charities are trying to
build a safe crossing.
18. In
Colombia, the children of several families living in the tropical
forest, 65 km southeast of Bogota, go to school like these ropes
connecting the two sides of the village. This is
the only way to get to school. Steel
cables are 800 meters in length and are suspended 400 meters above the
river Rio Negro. This girl Daisy Mora and her brother Yamid moving
at 80 km / h. Yamid sits in the bag, because it is
too small (5 years) to cross the river on their own. The
journey takes 60 seconds.
19. But
back to China ...
20. These
children live in a boarding school in Pili, and every day they have to
travel on the road dangerous cliffs.
21. This
road is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Children have to cross these rocks once a
semester.
22. Children also need to wade the cold waters of the
river, then cross the 200-meter bridge and the four narrow
bridge. The journey takes two days!
