School has already started for most. If you think you are having a tough time getting to school because you are stuck in the Metro Manila traffic, how about these children who ride a makeshift raft so just they can go to school?
Featured on Reuters as one of their Editor’s Choice photos is a picture that shows children riding a makeshift raft to go to Casili Elementary School in Rizal.
The photo was taken by Erik de Castro.

We are not sure how deep the water they are crossing is, but please build these children a bridge on their way to school.

Would anyone know how we can reach out to help these children?
