Villagers in Huoi Ha village are risking their lives by placing children in giant plastic bags and swimming across the Nam Chim stream to get their children to school, according to reports in Vov.vn. During the dry season, children can rely on makeshift bamboo bridges to cross the stream. However, during rain season, they often have to resort to rafts to get from A to B, but if the rapids are too strong, they can easily get swept away.
