In Sri Lanka, a dangerous climb for online school | See Pics

In the village of Lunugala, about 60 kilometers away, adults escort schoolchildren to a mountaintop treehouse in a forest reserve. It’s about 30 feet high and has internet access. They take turns uploading their homework and downloading lesson plans.

Getting online school lessons for residents of a remote Sri Lankan village requires a trek through dense bushes sometimes visited by leopards and elephants. The teachers and about 45 schoolchildren in Bohitiwaya then climb more than 3 kilometers (2 miles) to the top of a rock to find an internet signal.
