Children residing at Sanghiang Tanjung village of Indonesia cross the old bridge built on Ciberang River to go to their school every day. Although there is another alternate route to go to school, but that shall take more than 45 minutes to reach and hence they go through this old bridge without any safety measures. Looking at the bravery of the children and also their willingness to study, the steel giant of Indonesia PT Krakatau Steel along with several NGOs have come up and are planning to build a new bridge for them.

Climbing the Himalayas is tough for even some of the experienced mountaineers, these children do it every day just to reach their village school! Often the ice-layers are thin, and there are high chances of these kids falling straight down into the deep frozen water. The icy layers are also very slippery to walk, but the spirit for education is much higher in the children of Zanskar!

The bridge over the Ciherang River was the only way out for the children of Cilangkap to go to their school and since early 2013, it has broken down due to the heavy floods so the children are now forced to cross the river by travelling on the bamboo rafts. These bamboo rafts are the narrow boats on which these little souls travel to reach their school.

Children at Colombia cross the River Rio Negro with the steel cables which connects both the ends of the valley. The cables are placed 400 m above the river and the children used to zip at a speed of almost 50 miles per hour and cross it in a minute! What they use as a tool, is mere a branch, and often big children use sacks and carry small ones with them who can't hold the cable! Insane!
