Zanskar, Indian Himalayas
Zanskar, India, Himalayas. A small village in the mountain
paradise. Relentless in winter. 40 degrees below zero. Every year in the
coldest quarter, a group of children accompanied by their parents go
through three valleys to reach the boarding of Leh, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Ladakh and
where they will spend the rest of the year. There are no roads, no
paths. They do it across the only place possible. The frozen Zanskar river.
The walk takes several days, with nights in the shelter of the ice
caves of the slope. Every year some tourist dies trying to imitate the
way of children from Zanskar, more educated in the folds and crevices of
the treacherous ice…

Sungai Rio Negro, Colombia
Anak-anak menyeberangi sungai dengan bantuan kawan baja sepanjang 800 meter, 400 meter di atas sungai Rio Negro.
In Columbia, kids from a handful of families living in the rainforest, 40 miles southeast of the capital Bogota, commute via steel cables that connect one side of the valley to the other. This is the only way to reach school. The steel cables are 800 meters in length are strung 400m above the roaring Rio Negro.
Photographer Christoph Otto clicked this incredible picture of Daisy Mora and her brother Jamid, making their way at a breakneck speed of 50 miles per hour. She attaches the sack containing her brother, who is too young, at five, to make the crossing alone, and herself to a pulley. A branch in the shape of a wishbone forms a crude brake. The entire journey takes 60 seconds.

Rizal, Filipina
Pelajar SD di provinsi Rizal di sebelah timur ibukota Manila menyeberangi sungai dengan ban dalam sebagai pelampung.Para pelajar tersebut harus berjalan 1 jam setiap hari untuk berangkat dan pulang sekolah, dan kadang-kadang mesti tidak sekolah atau menginap kalau sungai meluap karena hujan lebat. Masyarakat sudah meminta ke pemerintah daerah setempat untuk membuat jembatan di sungai tersebut.
Akses ke sekolah cukup bermasalah di Filipina terutama di pedesaan, namun demikian 85% anak di Filipina terdaftar di sekolah dasar, walaupun hanya 62% yang lulus SMA.

Nepal
Gondola bridges are common in the mountainous country of Nepal where good roads are 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. Fortunately, several NGOs are currently concerned with building safe bridges and gondolas to mitigate accidents.

Trong Hoa, Vietnam
The Filipino kids at least have tubes. These Vietnamese students aren’t so fortunate. Dozens of young children from grade 1 to grade 5 swim twice a day across the river in order to get to school at Trong Hoa commune, Minh Hoa district. In order to keep the clothes 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 also being used to keep them afloat while swimming across the river. Upon reaching the other 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.
Palestina
March 16, 2010. A girl with your age goes indolent dodging stones thrown by their Palestinian brothers against the Israeli military in its daily journey to school in the Shuafat refugee camp in the West Bank near Jerusalem. She seems not to mind the war between her brothers. Just want to go to school to show their homework. Does she seem brave, right? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become this childhood routine in a long and winding road full of obstacles for the children of this eternal war.
