Chinese school children from thevillage of Genguan. Everyday, theseyoung kids walk along a precariouspath carved by the side of a cliff, as

they make their way to class in Bijie, insouthwest China's Guizhou Province.

Banpo Elementary School is locatedhalfway up a mountain and the path toit winds through treacherous hillsidepasses and tunnels hewn out of the

rock. The pebble-covered footpath isless than 0.5 meters wide, which

means the children have to walk singlefile and press themselves into the sideof the mountain if someone wants to

squeeze past.

This footpath was created 40 years ago as an irrigation ditch and although there isanother safer route, but taking this means the children have to spend two hours to

walk to school. The only assurance for parents is that Headmaster Xu Liangfanaccompanies the 49 kids to school.

Another Indonesian village, children cycle their way over an aqueduct that separatesSuro Village and Plempungan Village in Java, Indonesia. The children decided to use the

aqueduct on their journey to school as a shortcut, even though it wasn't made forpeople to walk on. Even though it is dangerous, the children say would rather use it

than walk a distance over six kilometers.

In Filipino, elementary school students use an inflated tire tube to cross a river ontheir way to school in a remote village in Rizal province, east of the capital Manila.The students have to walk for at least an hour a day to get to and from school, and

are sometimes forced to skip classes or take shelter at relatives' homes if the river isswollen due to heavy rains.


10/14

The Filipino kids at least have tubes. These Vietnamese students arent so fortunate.

Dozens of young children from grade 1 to grade 5 swim twice a day across the river inorder to get to school at Trong Hoa commune, Minh Hoa district. In order to keep theclothes and books from getting wet, the students put them in large plastic bags and

tightly sealed while crossing the river almost naked. These plastics bags were alsobeing used to keep them afloat while swimming across the river. Upon reaching theother side of the river, they take their clothes out of the bag and put them on. The

river is 15 meters wide and reportedly 20 meters deep.

Gondola bridges are common in the mountainous country of Nepal where good roadsare in short demand. Children use handcrafted bridges made with planks, improvised

ropes and pulleys, without safety harnesses and double security restraint. For decades,

this lack of security has caused numerous accidents.


12/14

During clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians in the refugee camp Shuafat,near Jerusalem, a girl is seen calmly walking towards her school unconcerned by the

violence around her. The street is strewn with rocks thrown by protesters in the

direction of the Israeli troop who can be seen behind the girl in protective shields.
