The Most Dangerous And Unusual Journeys To School In The World

“For most parents and kids, crossing the 
street to catch the school bus is perhaps the riskiest part of the school run.

It’s important not to forget that, in some parts of the world, school can be a hard-won luxury. Many children throughout the world have to take the most incredible and unimaginable routes in order to receive the education that some of us may take for granted. This list we collected will show you just how determined some children can be when it comes to getting an education.
According to UNESCO, progress in connecting children to schools has slowed down over the past five years. Areas that lack suitable school routes can often flood, making it even harder for kids to commute. Dangerous paths are one of the main reasons why many children decide to quit school.


The solution might seem easy: build roads and bridges, buy buses and hire a driver. However, the lack of funds and recurring natural disasters in many countries make it difficult to provide children with the solutions they so desperately need.”

  THE HISTORY OF NATIVE AMERICANS



11.000 years ago,during the ice age,indians travelled across the Baring Straits from Asia to Alaska.Slowly they came south and settled in different parts of the USA and formed into tribes.The Iroquois and Huron lived in the forests,the Sioux and the Comanche lived on the Great Plains and Pueblo lived in the desert regions.In modern america the indians are called “Native Americans”.The arrival of the Europeans in the  New World was the beginning of the end of indians life.At first settlers and indians were friendly towards each other but when they started to protect their land fighting broke out.
                  



                                
          




The Europeans came in America with horses and guns and killed a lot of indians.In 1830 a law was passed that allowed the governament to move indian tribes to the land  west of the Missisipi.



                                                     
                                            
    


The most important battle was on 27th june1876 when General Custer made a surprise attack on an indian village.General Custer had 225 soldiers but there were 2500 indians.Custer and all of his soldiers died in the battle.This was the indians' last victory,because by the end of the 19th century the indians lived on reservations.Today there are an estimated 4,4 million “Native Americans” in the USA.
