  • Most Dangerous Ways To School - Colombia
    In northern Colombia, in the region Bajo Cauca, more than 180 miles north of Medellín, the landscape is marked by water and seemingly endless expanses. Every day, the children who live there face this rough, unpredictable wilderness - with just one goal in mind: making it to school. Because this is their chance to break out of poverty and create a better life. Like the ten year old Kendys and the other schoolchildren.
    For this, they subject themselves to a daily dose of danger. Some of them must cross a ramshackle bridge that could collapse at any moment. Like the ten year old Kendys and some other schoolchildren. One false step and they could drown or break their legs.
    Ten-year-old Juan does not have to cross the bridge, but first he has to cross a river in an extremely wobbly canoe, and then walk through deep mud full of stingrays. Although his way is dangerous, he’s glad that he can go to school at all. It brings him a little closer to his dream of moving to a big city.
    The children face all this under tough conditions. The temperature is already 34 degrees Celsius in the morning, with humidity at 97 percent. In order to get closer to their wishes and dreams, each day these children carry not only a backpack, but also the fear - on one of the world’s most dangerous ways to school.

    ATTENTION to all friends, subscribers and generally awesome followers of our channels:
    Fans of the MOST DANGEROUS WAYS TO SCHOOL Series have been asking for a long time how they can donate to help these kids - directly. Well, now, finally, we've found a way:
    With the assistance of some awesome people who specialize in bringing aid directly to the Nepal area, we’ve set up a GoFundMe for the school kids in Nepal.
    Obviously, the kids in the documentary are already grown up and making their way in the world but there are thousands following in their footsteps - all with dreams of making a better life for themselves and their families. Now we are able to help them directly.
    We can't do it without you.
    Now go help these kids peeps with your donations HERE---> www.gofundme.com/f/help-free-documentary-to-help

    Nobody talks about how amazing their teacher is?
    She travels 7 hours to go there, she encourages them to do what they're good in and where they're interests are and teaches several grades at the same time.

      Agree!
      I fear once she wants to have her own family, or to gain some wealth and security for herself, she will leave teaching.
      She deserves compensation for the job she does, so she is able to stay and share her amazing gift and tender heart.

      One-room schools are still used today, with only one teacher, teaching all grades in America.
      Very rural areas and even the Amish teach that way.
      It used to be that way everywhere.
      And, when our grandparents told us those stories about how they made it to school, believe them. Yeah, it's a joke everyone tells these days, but as you can see in these videos, it's common in places around the world.

I have always had hope, this new generation will change the history of Colombia, I keep waiting for the day when narcos who govern us will go to hell, and that Colombia can finally have what we deserves: Peace and equality.

    This teachers dedication and love for these kids! There are other episodes where the children got corporal punishment for being late despite their dire circumstances. Where the teachers openly derided the kids for being “the poor ones” that “they just can’t learn well because of where they come from” and the classes seemed cold and lacking joy. This woman uses her meager paycheck to buy supplies, smiles and laughs with the children, engages them, and understands what they go through to be there and in life in general and makes class everyday engaging, educational( for 3 different levels) and fun. Absolutely amazing. I wish there was a link for donating supplies.

Bordering to Myanmar under the union of India. It would had been better if we were left to determine our future during British colonial Rules. GOD BLESS Nagaland.

    The film is full of lessons in all aspects. It gives vivid and hard to swallow truth about living by sweat. Juan is tweenager, however everything he has done on this film is by far the greatest lesson from the school of hard knocks. The teacher is so affectionate and so motherly, loved her so much. May God bless them all. Amen

    This brakes my heart to see young kids walking miles just to get to school. New Zealanders are taking advantage. We need to help these kids make it to school easier.

    I want cry cuz he looks like my little brother. I am honestly blessed to be born in a first world country. My mom comes from a poor village as well. Somehow she made the journey to America @ 14. I feel guilty sometimes since I haven’t become what she wanted. She worked so hard to get me here.

      It's not hard... I've seen these types of comments so many times in this doc series....I don't understand how people don't think about just contacting the people that made these documentary? Wouldn't that be a good place to at least start? The name is right at the end of every single one of these documentary. All you have to do from there is look them up online!!!!
      I'd be so curious to know from all the comments I've seen from people saying they want to do this and that for the kids...how many have actually done anything!!!????

      I agree. First of all is the look at the location. Secondly see how much would it be to get an structure built with the proper judgement for the area and possible water issues and thirdly pay a company to do so by raising some funds.
