Here is a video of them crossing a river by a broken suspension bridge.
In the next video, we can see how young primary school pupils need to climb 200 meters to and from school twice every month.
If these videos do not inspire you, think again. Education is the only way poor people can escape poverty.

Yes, there is a way - Role play. By allowing the students to step into the shoes of other in a safe environment, the learning can be vivid and realistic. See my book The Power of Role-based e_learning

Online education is convenient and when is appropriately conducted can be a godsend for busy students. A lot of face to face education institutes actually puts their courses online, either as a supplement for those who may have missed a class or as a general community service for anyone who is interested in learning something.

Your country is not the greatest country anymore.
The only three things which USA is number one are:
1. number of people in the prisons (per capita),
2. number of adults who believe in a god (by percentage in developed countires), and
3. largest military budget - more than the next 26 combined.
The world is becoming more unequal, unstable and unsustainable.
