So many of our children take their opportunities for an education for granted. Imagine if they had to risk their lives each day for the privilege to attend like this young boy and others from his villege. Perhaps they would treasure the chance while trying their best to learn everything possible.

As has been noted, that which is given freely is often received with indifference or contempt. Too bad we can't send some of our ungrateful, truant teenagers out in the middle of nowhere. Where there is no electricity. Then after a few months let them experience some of the hardships these other children live with daily. Maybe then some of these teenagers would come back with different attitudes. Dare we hope gratitude perchance?

This looks safe, and the hand rails must help lots. The children will all grow up to be civil engineers.
