A school in the jungle

Mecias is ten years old and he lives in a village in the middle of the Brazilian rain forest. The only way to get there is by boat. Until recently, there was no electricity and there were no phones in the village.

“In my village, there are a few houses surrounded by the jungle, which has lots of animals and birds. We go fishing in canoes built by the people here in the village. There is a crocodile in the village port!

At my school there are nineteen children, aged between four and sixteen years old. We all study in the same classroom. We have wireless internet and a computer! We study mathematics, the Portuguese language, history, natural science and geography. We learn not to throw rubbish into the river, not to kill the animals, and not to cut down trees.”
