Most Dangerous Ways To School - Papua New Guinea,

They live in Papua New Guinea, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, in the middle of one of the world’s largest rainforests. And some of them take a route to school which will blow your mind.

That is certainly the case for 8-year-old Junior and his cousin Ruth. Their journey in the so-called ‘Land of 1000 Rivers’ is a five-day one which leads the students through jungles, in which new and unique animals are continuously being discovered, and in whose branches the notorious green tree python lurks. For the children these snakes are not just a threat but also a delicacy, because they hunt their own food every day, as well as climb steep mountainsides and cross countless rivers. Their journey to school is too risky to tackle alone; that is why father Michael accompanies his son and niece on this adventure. They travel over one hundred kilometres, and on this trip the children fear nothing more than the large Takali river. It separates their home - the jungle - from modern civilisation, and has already claimed the lives of many who have attempted to cross it.

It is more than just a walk to school – It is a test in the vast jungle. And not all of the students will reach their destination...

Her Smile when she reached the school was just priceless ...
What a brave girl

[chrisescobar]

This should be called the story of Ruth. Her smile as she reaches the school grounds is priceless! She is such a brave soul.

[siscadjani]

when the father lifts junior up so he could see the classroom and smiles im in tears. Such a great father!

*I really want to know, how is Ruth now.* I wish her all the best of luck in the world. Because fortune favours the brave and she is brave.

I felt so sorry for Michael when his son refused to cross the river but he is a man of integrity, he encouraged Ruth to proceed with the journey as he has promised Ruth's dad to take care of her daughter, may our good God bless them and fulfill their heart desires

who else is watching in 2019? Volunteering as a teacher for a year or two in this place will be so fulfilling for me.

My heart dropped for a second when the principle said the school was full, thankfully they took her anyways. Glad she had enough money. So proud of her for concurring her fears for her education and I hope she is thriving!

[leatilemoseki]

How Junior calmly captures that green scary snake and fears water just bits me. Michael is the greatest father ever

[damieonphillips]

Theres no price or amount of money that could cover the cost of the smile on Ruths face. I hope you flourish Ruth and become a well educated women... Have a lovelylife and take great care. Damieon from the isle of Wight in England

Ruth's courage and determination and success made me cry with happiness. Girls and women are strong and so valuable.

[ambertastic]

I love the episodes when an adult actually travels with the children.

[gire]

Poor Junior. Michael is a great father. Ruth is a strong young woman for going alone.

When Ruth finally sat on her dormitory bed, I felt victorious. Her story is breathtaking and I wish the the very best in life.
