“It is really hard because the children have to walk through the mud, to get to school. As you can see, we have no roads, all we have is these ‘sirihies’ (narrow tracks through bush). During the rainy weather, the children really suffer because the paths become sheer slush,” one resident complained.

Interesting that this situation existed, at least, from the 1960's.
