Most Dangerous Ways To School | NICARAGUA | Free Documentary

Every morning, the three sisters Julia, Yulissa and Kenya climb into their dugout in order to row to school. They live on the east coast of Nicaragua, one of the world’s poorest countries, and the youngest of them has just turned five; the oldest is nine. They row across the Rio Escondido. Not only is it one of the largest rivers in the country, it is simultaneously one of the most dangerous routes to school. While they have to watch out for snakes lurking in the trees over the river, the three sisters also struggle against the current and must ensure the dugout does not fill up with water - because it has multiples holes and could sink at any minute.

Other classmates do not necessarily have it easier, because they live far from the river, and their journey to school takes them through the deep jungle. One of these classmates is 11-year-old Greyven. His daily trip takes him through the so-called ‘snake field’, in which coral snakes and the infamous boa constrictor reside. On the way to school, the rain drives the snakes from the empty coconuts on the ground; on the way back the afternoon heat, which is over 35 degrees, means that they are lively and belligerent.

The daily journey – ashore and to water – to San Mariano’s small village school is an adventure almost unimaginable to us. Every time they undertake this trip, the children expose themselves to life-threatening dangers, all for the chance to have a better future.

I was crying watching this video. How much struggle do these students do to get basic needs like education? Many of us complain for unnecessary reasons, but our excuses are shameful when comparing these kids' struggles and difficulties. I pray and wish for their bright future. I can feel these beautiful eyes are full of dreams. How innocent faces!
Best wishes from the bottom of my heart.

God watch over these children!! He knows and send angels to protect them!!

[anirazad]

The 3 girls made me cry. I haven’t seen anyone in my life who can do that much hard work. I salute you girls, God bless

[NGALAHansel]

Those three girls already taking on such huge responsibilities have my deepest respect and admiration. I grew up in Cameroon, Western Africa and lived in a fairly developed town with two renowned Christian hospitals, electricity, water and school was just 10 minutes away. Now I realize I had nothing to complain about. I am also glad to see that the kids are Christians and pray everyday before starting classes. God bless their teacher Mrs. Miller too. Wish I could contribute something for the girls especially to get a new boat, good shoes, bags and life jackets.

I went to school in a rural area in Venezuela (nothing like this for sure). One of my classmates in high school (his name is Hector), we were classmates 7-11 grade (HS in Venezuela is 7-11). Hector was never late for school and I don't remember him ever missing school. He always did his homework, had good grades, defended kids from bullies, and kept to himself (he was a giant among us kids). When we graduated from high school, his parents were so proud and invited us for a cookout at their home. It was only at that moment, that we all learned that everyday he woke up at 4am - left his house by 4:30am and made the journey to be in class by 7:15am. Every single day this boy made this trip and never complained or told anyone. I left Venezuela in '96 to come to the USA (I was so blessed). To this day I always remember his name and I am proud to tell others that I was very lucky to have a classmate like Hector. He is one of my role models regardless of whatever he is doing nowadays.

These girls are going to grow up to be such incredible and strong women.

[Kayamokayato]

They need to show this in every school in the US for the children to see. This is to show the children and adults how to appreciate things in life. These children are unfortunate and work hard to learn and go to school. Hugs to the children of Nicaragua♥️

The determination and courage of these young students in Nicaragua are truly inspiring. Their daily journey to school is filled with challenges and dangers, yet they persevere for the hope of a better future. Thank you for sharing their incredible story in this documentary.

It is amazing to see how God protects his children. I am sure they will become great people after overcoming this hard obstacle at such a young age.

[hezilmaeconejar]

It's 2023 now, wondering how the kids doing now. Praying them a better future. I am so proud of their dedication.

[kathy.d]

My mother was raised like this in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. Thankfully she was able to break the cycle of poverty for us. I hope these kids are able to succeed in life and do better for themselves 🙏🏽
