In a Sabah forest, two sisters build a 'school' to keep lessons going

Rechellyna and Ryverra Rinus have built their own schoolhouse on a hilltop to carry on studying.

Even when they could get a data signal in their village, the snail’s pace internet speed made online learning a frustrating experience and often caused them to miss out on lessons. The sisters began following their lessons via mobile phone, taking turns while squatting and standing under the hot sun and, at times, in rain.

Outside the schoolhouse, they hung a sign which says “Welcome to Puru Online”. Puru is the Dusun word for forest.“If you feel sleepy, or your hips are pain or you are tired, you can sleep here,” Rechellyna says in the video, pointing to a hammock tied to two trees. There is even a makeshift kitchen near the shed where the girls cook whenever they need a snack while studying.

ministers says we are developed country,yet so many of us here in rural area Sabah still have poor communication.

Can you imagine malay kids doing this here in peninsula when ALL of them praying for schools to close, wanting schools to close and enjoying schools being closed. They would never do this.

Sedih kan.. Ini lah realiti kehidupan kami Di Sabah Di Sarawak yg disisihkan pembangunan dari semua aspek! Dekat 60 tahun. Yg bergolak Di atas kerana kuasa Dan harta, yg sengsara rakyat jelata pejuang negara!!
