I Can’t Believe This Is How She Gets To School. The Challenge She Faces Will Make You Weep!
In a tiny village in North Western Vietnam, teachers and students risk being swept to their death – just to get to school.
Sam Lang village has a bridge but when the Po Nam river is in flood it becomes unusable and is dismantled.
It is then that the strongest and bravest men from the village are called on to help the students and teachers cross the river – just when it is at its fastest flowing and most life-threatening.
They line up on the bank to take it in turns to face the ordeal of climbing into an enormous plastic bag and being ferried one by one across the treacherous waters.
And I used to think that a long walk and a bus ride was a big effort!
