In the interior of Sarawak, the Ibans build their long
houses on stilts. A long house, as the name suggests,
is a house that is very long. Each house has a numberof rooms. Each room is known as a bilikand it houses
one family.As the family grows, so does the number of
rooms. In Papua New Guinea, long houses sometimes
house a whole village. Some less fortunate people in
neighbouring countries like Hong Kong live in floating
homes called sampans. These sampans are actually
covered boats with roofs and walls made of bamboo
matting or canvas. The people who live in sampans
fear that the children might fall overboardand drown.So children living in sampans have pieces of bamboo
tied their backs which act as life-jackets.

Andrija Markovich is a thin, pale-looking thirteen-year-old. For a
teenager, he is too serious and earnest-looking. He is from Bratunac, a
small town in Eastern Bosnia which has been torn apart by two years
of civil war. He has just returned to school after a long absence. Its
been a long holiday, said Andrija.
But its too long. Ive forgotten everything. Not quite. His English
was good enough to give an insiders view of how to spend many
hours fighting in the front line.
Because of the shortage of the heating fuel, the two schoolsin
Bratunac were closedfor three months. The classrooms were so coldthe children could not hold their pens. When the worst of the
winter was over, the schools reopened to 2,000 children between the
ages of 7 and 18 but the building remained cold. It was necessary to
reduce the length of the school dayand cut individual lessonsfrom
45 minutes to 30 minutes. Teachers and pupils had to wear coats,glove and hatsin the classroom. To compensate for the shorter hours,
the school week was extendedto include Saturday and Sunday.
