Education is an important tool in changing our world to a better one.Every citizen has the right to be educated yet not everybody is given the opportunity. There are areas around the world that are so remote and inaccessible from the civilization. They are suppressed by so many things, but they still strive hard to have a better future.

These may open our eyes to reality, especially to the students who often complain how worthless going to school can be. We are so lucky not to experience this exhausting route to school. Let’s hope that one one day, there will be a proper allocation of money in our nations and these areas will be given the funds to build safer bridges or pathways to give comfort and safety to the younger generation.
