Most Dangerous Ways To School | PERU | Free Documentary

It is early in the morning as Vidal gets himself ready. But before Vidal can brace himself for his dangerous way to school he must take care of his family`s sustenance - like every morning he checks the fishing nets. After work it`s time for a Uro bread and he drinks a Mate tea. Both things, like almost everything else here are made form the totora reeds. The Uros are a people that are very rooting in their tradition. They have even managed to preserve the Pukina, their mother language dating back to the colonial time.
After two hours of paddling, Vidal reaches the center of the village. He floats past houses, where a family is building their new island since the old one has began to rot. It is the normal rhythm here. Every three years a new ground under the feet and a new roof above the head needs to be made. The construction begins by cutting the roots of the totora reeds in 30 cm long blocks. Five hundred of these are then tied together with ropes and soaked in the water for three months until they melt into one large block. On top of this block, the family piles totora reeds up to two meters high, until a part of the block sinks in the water and starts to rot. The gases released from this biomass under water produce a buoyant force that causes the new island to swim.
After three hours of paddling, Vidal has finally reached the Uro elementary school where he learns to read and write. Here besides his native language, he also learns Spanish. It is not the language of his parents, but at the same time it is his chance of a future outside of his village.

Along the way, my male friends would climb a coconut or a guava tree as a treat for us when we get hungry. I am saving these videos because now I have a son, and I wanted him to see how lucky he is that his school is 500 meters away from home only. I hope that the government of Peru help this tribes, lifeboats, meals, free school supplies, uniforms, more schools and better safe transportation. Thank you for this video.

The kids in these documentaries are the real super heroes, they are the real MVPs!! I'm in awe, honestly. Even in their conditions, in several episodes now, they don't hesitate to help each other out whenever they can. Every age group can learn from these kids, honestly.

[@mr.whostheboss9884]

Shout-out for the teacher who seems so personally invested in her students. She seemed genuinely concerned about the students.

[@Sallywood]

I spent 3 days on an island in lake Titicaca. The children impress me in a way I will never forget. There was a festival coming up in the nearby village "The festiival of light " The children prepared all the lights to be carried on long poles They helped the younger ones mold and paint . and turned out works of art They had learned a responsibility , a way of caring and helping younger children that I never saw in my home country. Here we would have to remind them, sometimes give them ideas remind them to clear up afterwards.

[@autumnleaves2766]

This documentary is from 2013, so I wonder how the children have got on in the intervening years. What an effort just to get to school. I hope they all get a chance to go to secondary school. Life must be pretty tough living on floating islands of reeds.

I would actually love to live there... aside from the struggles of being incredibly poor, I feel like being away from civilization, technology, media, and the stresses of fast life allow their minds to not be tainted by the things the rest of the world is plagued with. It's so humbling to watch them. Their culture and features are beautiful.

I was born on the slopes of mount kenya n in my childhood the only time i used to play is on my way to school and in school. School was 1 hr walk n we went ducking away from elephants. At home we could work till darkness forces us to sleep. My first job abroad was baby sitting dropping and picking kids 3 blocks away from the house. They could fight over tv n i always got sclolded when they refused to eat or when they watched tv. I spent a whole 6 months wanting to vomit from what i was witnessing. Kids throwing themselves on the floor in shopping malls for toys. I was under a scolarship n made frends coz my classmates never beleaved u cld see wild animals without paying lots of dolars. I told them to pay tickets n come help in the farm. We have a big farm house. I told them to carry as many shoes as they cld coz while growing up shoes are a luxury. 8 yrs since our travel n till now they tell me what a good time they had. My 2 kids are 4 n i take them back to the farm to appreciate that life is not easy. I even volunteered in a school 4 6 months so that they cld learn my local language. Those kids are super adaptive
