This document discusses challenges that students in developing areas face getting to school. It describes a free school operating under a bridge in New Delhi, India that provides education to 30 local children. It also shows a boy in Indonesia who rides a bicycle across a rickety aqueduct as a shortcut to get to school, rather than walking a longer route. Additionally, it depicts Filipino elementary students who must use an inflated tire tube to cross a river on their way to and from school each day, as they lack a bus or bridge.

A boy on his way to school rides a bicycle across planks on an aqueduct that separates Plempungan Village and Suro Village in central Java, Indonesia, on Nov. 26. As rickety as it looks, residents prefer to use the old aqueduct as a shortcut. The alternative route requires walking 3.5 miles.

They don't have a bus, or even a bridge. Filipino elementary school students have to use an inflated tire tube to cross a river on their 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 is swollen due to heavy rains. The community has been petitioning the local government to put up a suspension bridge in order to make the crossing easier, faster and safer.
COMMENTS Lanikai Ron These kids don't see this as scary or unusual. This is what they know. This is always how it has been for them. In many ways, these children already have a leg up on our lucky kids here at home. They know what it's like to do without and proceed to do what they must to get to school. They are not sitting on the bank waiting for government to make it easy for them.
