Pupils in a remote village in China are forced to scramble down sheer cliffs and cross freezing rivers just to reach their school.

Indonesian students face Indiana Jones-style river crossing every day.

To go to school, a child crosses the scene of clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians in the refugee camp of Shuafat, near Jerusalem.

The daily walk to and from Gulucun Primary school in China, certainly takes some courage with a 5,000ft sheer drop on one .side

    amazing!!
    how the education is so important for them…

    for once to take that risk maybe so weird and horrorable…

    but for usual… maybe it’s so easy for them….

    Amazing. Where did you get this information from? And who took the incredible photos?

  8. Amazing! … and a reminder not to take both our children and education for granted

    Wouldn’t it be easier to bring the education to the children? Or move?

  11. If any children at home complains about school show them this and maybe they can understand and be thankful they do not have to risk life going to school the even the intercity schools are safer than what these children have to go though

    Jeez that’s crazy that they have to risk their lives just to to school, sometimes I have to drag myself out of bed.

    Danger? I bet more kids get hit by cars on the way to school in developed countries than those kids do on the cliffs.

    To everyone posting “poor kids, what’s being done about this?” Those kids are fine. They are clearly alive. YOU are the walking dead to be pitied, not them.

    God shows Mercy upon the Children all over the world, I thank HIM that he loves the little children so much. All people should show more love and respect for OUR GOD in Heaven and be so thankful and always Praise HIS Name for his love compassion and favors he bestows upon this world. Thank GOD he gave us his son Jesus to give us a way to get to heaven someday. Hallelujah Amen!

      You Idoit. What the hell does god have to do with it? Those kids are most likely not even Christian. And why would they thank god for forcing them to risk their lives everyday? If this is how god shows he loves them, doesn’t that make him kind of a douchbag?

    I´ve been to some of these countries, it´s terrible, but it seems as if they are not aware of the danger, or maybe they don´t want to think too much about (which I understand)

  30. JPanda says:

    This certainly is unique.

    I only hope those children can grow up safe. They are suppose to be children…. :(

    I’ll show it to anyone, who complains on traffic jams, while seating in air-conditioned car.
