How Children Get To School Around the World! - Worst Routes

Imagine having to scale the Burj Khalifa, or walk for 5 days in subzero temperatures, or brave an 800m long zipline over 200m in the air, just to get to school! Well, these kids do just that, and more! Here are the worst school routes IN THE WORLD! 1. Shree Adarsha School, Kanpur, Nepal. Every day the children in the village of Kanpur join together to go down to the school in the city. An hour and a half before classes start, the Kanpur children set off for school. They must walk down the mountain to the treacherous Trishuli river. Here, because there is no bridge, they must cross using a contraption called "The Tuin" a metal basket that hangs from two steel cables. Sometimes, they walk down the mountain to find that "the Tuin" is on the other side and the children must wait until an adult comes and can bring it back to them, if no adults come, they will miss school and have to walk the hour trek back home for nothing. Even if they are lucky enough to cross the river without incident, then they still have to hitch a ride on the main highway into town. At the end of the school day they must repeat the 2-hour trip just to get back home, hopefully before night fall and with enough time to do their homework before going to bed, and then tomorrow, they&do it all again. 2. Pamoseang Village, Indonesia. Unlike the children in Nepal, in the remote village of Pamoseang in west Sulawesi, the children actually have a fairly decent bridge so they can cross the river and get to school...
