Himachal Kids Risk Lives to Reach School, Need Bridge
Kids in Bharmour village, India, have to walk through a risky stream to get to school because there's no bridge.
This stream, called a nullah, gets high even when it rains a little, making it dangerous.
Parents sometimes carry their children.
The people in the village have asked for a bridge many times, but they haven't gotten one yet because there isn't enough money.
The local authorities say they understand and are trying to fix the problem soon to keep the kids safe.
Children in Bharmour village, Himachal Pradesh, risk their safety daily to reach school.
