ATTENTION to all friends, subscribers and generally awesome followers of our channels: Fans of the MOST DANGEROUS WAYS TO SCHOOL Series have been asking for a long time how they can donate to help these kids - directly. Well, now, finally, we've found a way: With the assistance of some awesome people who specialize in bringing aid directly to the Nepal area, we’ve set up a GoFundMe for the school kids in Nepal. Obviously, the kids in the documentary are already grown up and making their way in the world but there are thousands following in their footsteps - all with dreams of making a better life for themselves and their families. Now we are able to help them directly. We can't do it without you. Now go help these kids peeps with your donations HERE---> www.gofundme.com/f/help-free-documentary-to-help

Hello FD! I am a fan of ypur documentary but this is only in Nepal. I wish all the countries you featured get a help as well especially Nicaragua. Nicaragua needs the most help because they have the tightest budget when it comes to education, so much so that when you see the school where Ms.Miller taught there is only one classroom for ALL GRADE LEVELS, dilapitated classroom, no papers and pen, etc. While I live in the Philippines, and there is a documentary as well, we have a luck in government because the budget always prioritze education and the girl with her schoolmates who also goes with her on the pangpang in the documentary only needs a bicycle so that she can go to the school without going to the pangpang (cliff).

[@paulsebastian8623]

The video is amazing, as its already 6 years can you do another video, showing how these kids have grown, want to know if the place has changed or is the condition still the same.

[@sayanavinokurova]

Hi, I am Sayana from Yakutia (Siberia) Oymyakon 10 years have passed since the creation of this documentary. And also how I study at this school. I'm finishing school this year. There are no big changes in the school. Our bus is old and needs new. We study together with Alyosha. In high school, we still study even at -54-60 ° C. If you are interested, the bus driver Grigory is retired. I have read almost all of your comments. I don’t know English very well, so I use a translator to read your comments, but I don’t have time to read everything to the end. Because in the village, the Internet often disappears and works very slowly. Glad you liked the documentary)

I grew up in Yakutia and now I live in China. I miss my hometown so much. It definitely makes me stronger. I like to return to my hometown during the wintertime, It’s frighteningly cold in Yakutia when winter temperatures plummet to -50°C, but I’m just grateful that I grew up in this unique place with an amazing nature that’s all around us. I love winter and I always missing breathing cold and fresh air. After all, something about winter just sends off that vibe, the vibe of closeness, love and true meaning of life.

Okay, I live here, in Yakutia. It was absolutely normal to go to school when it was -50 degrees. In my village I had to walk to school for half an hour. But road was fun cuz I gathered all my friends and we went to school together. And about buying new school bus - you all are very generous, buy not every vehicle can survive in our temperature. Bus in the video is made in russian car factory so it is suitable for our Republic. Most of foreign cars (from Japan, Europe and etc) doesn't survive in our cold weather without proper modding. P.S. Drinking water made of ice cube from local lake is the best water I've ever tasted. I was blessed to drink it while I was a kid and lived in a village :)

I watched this video as part of my school project on education and minorities. In my opinion, it is especially important to cover such videos in the school program in order to broaden the horizons of students and highlight those problems that are really urgent. Before I watched this video I didn’t really think about the problem of education but after, I am looking out for this! Also, after I checked a lot of comments I am glad to see the main character of this video here after 10 years and this is very important, because from the Sayana’s comments we can see how situation in her region is changing. I am glad that I got acquainted with this video clip, it really makes us think about how important it is to understand the need for equality of educational opportunities for all people around you and how to contribute to this!
