The remote Yungas Valley in Bolivia has a unique landscape, where the Andes meets the Amazon rainforest. Here, children have a long and dangerous walk to school ahead of them - a test in the vast jungle. Throughout this journey they all have one goal in mind, to find a job in a city.

Gleann Yungas ann am Boilibhia, àite sònraichte far a bheil beanntan nan Andes a’ coinneachadh coille-uisge an Amasoin. Anns an sgìre iomallach seo ann an aon de na h-àitichean as bochda san t-saoghal, tha slighe chunnartach fhada aig a’ chloinn airson faighinn dhan sgoil, agus iad uile leis an aon amas: foghlam. Tha an dlùth-choille fhèin na dùbhlan dhaibh ach ’s e seo an aon dhòigh aca air obair fhaighinn sa bhaile mhòr. Feumaidh a' chlann san t-sreath seo coiseachd, sreap no snàmh ann an suidheachaidhean cunnartach air an t-slighe chun na sgoile. Chan eil aca ach aon amas: foghlam a nì leasachadh air am beatha. 'S ann aig a' chloinn seo a tha na slighean sgoile as cunnartaiche air thalamh – agus cuid dhen fheadhainn as bòidhche cuideachd.
