Kids Who Risk Their Lives Going To School - Around the World: Part I

Battling through a blizzard: A villager and her daughter attempt to cross a broken wooden bridge covered in snow in Sichuan Province, China. The bridge is the only connection to the outside world for people living in the Shawan village.

It is not very easy for all students to reach school without enduring painful journey. We should salute all these brave students who crossed treacherous route to reach their ultimate destination - their beloved school. I have collected some pictures of brave children from Internet. 

This young child and his grandfather have to negotiate a narrow, rocky mountain pass on the way to a primary school in Sichuan province, China. The Gulu village's school is located halfway up the mountain and is the most remote in the world.
It takes Shen Qicai and his grandfather five hours to climb from the base of the mountain to the Gulu village primary school. Children must travel along a path that is just a couple of feet wide in some parts and has a sheer drop on one side down into the canyon below

Don't look down! For most people, a zip wire is a novel thrill but for these villagers,
it's part of their daily commute across the Rio Negro river in Colombia

Taking the shortcut: For the handful of families living in the area 40 miles southeast of Colombia's capital Bogota,
the wire is their only access to the outside world. It is 1,300ft above the Rio Negro and whizzes travellers
 across the river at 40mph to the opposite bank, half a mile away

Close to collapse: This bridge on the island of Sumatra was destroyed by heavy rain.
The determined pupils from the Batu Busuk village who cross it every day
then have to walk a further seven miles through dense forest to their school in the town of Padang
