These Colombian Children Ride A Zip Line To School Every Day

What would you do for education? In 2011, WISE – World Innovation Summit for Education – produced a documentary on the children of Los Pinos, Colombia. Los Pinos’ school was closed due to a lack of funding, leaving students with two options to get to the next nearest school. These young children could either walk two hours both ways, or ride a zip line across a deep canyon to get to school.

This is just what a fantastic horror, because children and parents have fear for their future, this cannot be in the modern world, everyone should have normal access to education. It is clear that the countries of the world are developed in different ways, but for world leaders this is a reason to think about the topic of education in such regions. I am now a college student and I often study similar topics, write about it, sometimes I use the help of written services, for example, here https://essayreviewexpert.com/review/edusson/ you can find out about Edusson review 2021, what I study to understand the strengths and the services offered by this company, which can help out each of you when you do not have time to complete a written assignment, which is often the case 8-)
