Asia, Bangladesh
I read an article recently about “floating schools” in Bangladesh where children literally attend school on a boat because chronic flooding and geography make permanent school structures complicated. You can read further in the article about how melting glaciers in the Himalayas could complicate this country’s geographical challenges with rising sea levels.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/26/AR2007092602582.html
