Two sisters are doing online classes on the mountain!

The Dhaka Times Desk Due to the corona virus, educational institutions have been closed for a long time all over the world. Virtual i.e. online classes are going on to continue the education program. Many people have to climb the tree to do that online class! But why?

Many are not able to join online classes due to unfavorable environment. So it is happening to two sisters Matilde and Marlene Pimentel.

However, no obstacle could stop their interest in studies. Matilde and Marilyn live in the Central American country of El Salvador. They have to climb the mountain and climb the tree every day to join the online class.

Like other countries in the world, El Salvador is suffering from Corona. Educational institutions have been closed since last March to control the infection. However, the teaching program is going on online.

Matilde and Merlin's home is in a remote area with virtually no mobile phone network signal. That's why these two college students have no choice but to climb a high olive tree in a far hill to get the network.

22-year-old Matilde said, “Most of us who live in villages find it difficult to study. There is no internet connection either.”

Matil's 17-year-old sister Marlene says, “There is little network. But sometimes even that is not available.”

Mathilde is a math student and Marilyn is a statistics student. Both studied at the University of El Salvador.
