i have seen a news feature on tv. some children are walking and swimming to school. their house is far away from the nearest public school and so they walk for about 1 kilometer and then they have to cross the sea. they just carry their bags on their head and swim to another shore. they dont have a boat and so they just swim. after swimming they still have to walk for another kilometer to successfully reach their school. i pity them because they dont mind the obstacles just to get to school. compared with other children who are given everything just for them to go to school. what do you think about this mylotters?

hello devi! i am also impressed to these students who dont mind the many hardships and obstacles they must meet in order to go to school. if only the children who are given education and comfort can realize that they are blessed than other are.

I'm amazed with these children. This just shows how eager they want to go to school. Too bad, there are some who are born rich and yet doesn't even want to finish school. It's just sad. Those who are willing to do all the hard work are the ones who belong to the families with low income. I wish somebody will be able to help those kids finish their education.

yes, the host of the program where i saw the kids gave them a mini boat so that they can ride on it and not get wet nor walk on water when they go to school. i wish i can help too but maybe soon.

It sounds like these children are determine to get an education no matter what, even if they have to swim to get there. I guess getting an education where they are living is very important to them which is a good sign they want to learn and be someone.

yes, these children should be the inspiration of the kids who are being forced or bribed with whatever they want just to go to school. their families dont have anything and they still go to school. i salute these kids for working hard
