Vietnamese kids get to school in a PLASTIC BAG

river bag — A Vietnamese boy is dragged across a raging muddy river inside a plastic bag

A #Vietnamese boy is dragged across a raging muddy river in a plastic bag — so he can get to school dry.

He is one of 50 pupils from remote Huoi Ha village in northwestern Vietnam who normally cross on flimsy bamboo bridges and rafts.

But the dangerous plastic bags are needed when the Nam Ma river floods during rainy season, turning it into a torrent.

Incredible pictures show kids in bags making the daily perilous trip from their remote village to the classroom.

Mr Vo Giong, head of the Huoi Ha Village, said: ‘This river is very dangerous.’

“I hope that the state will invest in suspension bridges soon for people to travel more conveniently.”

Please help to support BangkokJack News through these troubled times... Poor government reaction to the COVID virus has left many, including some who rely upon us, in very difficult positions.

And still we try to deliver the REAL news to you on a daily basis. But this all comes at a cost and as tourism has dried up and with expats going home whenever they can, income streams and ad revenue is also drying up.

And this is why we appeal to our tens of thousands of readers to help out however you can - to keep us independent and opinionated.

Just Bt100 per month makes all the difference and will keep some of us in noodle soup for a day.

Thank you so much to those who already do support us. It means a lot to everyone.
