11-Year Old Girl Swims from Island to Island Just to Study
One of those less fortunate children is Rizza Abaño (played by Abby Bautista), an 11-year-old girl who is so motivated to finish her studies even if she has to swim in an open sea just to get to school. Amid the difficulties and even after her elder brother stopped going to school, Rizza remained determined to reach her dream and still believed that poverty is not a hindrance to success.

I hope the young generation of today will learn from this story ? Education is very important to improve once life if they’ll put their mind & heart into it…what they learned in school (College/Universities) will stay with them forever… & sometimes travelling will help them too ( to learn the reality & the facts of life – how to survive)… Life nowadays is becoming difficult & a really struggle in day to day existence…so I hope & pray that they’ll listen & put it in practice & not to ignore…it’s their life & future at stake…Need a lot of patience too.
