The Highland Teacher

26:59

In the heart of the rugged mountains of Dagestan, a small school struggled for years to find an English teacher for its students. Despite the breathtaking landscapes and the rustic charm of rural life, the road to this school can be utterly perilous. However, Musakay Musakaev’s resolve wasn’t swayed by the challenges - everyday, he spends 4 hours commuting to work on impassable roads, where rockfalls, landslides, and floods from mountain rivers pose threats.

Inspiring children and giving them a chance for a better future is what motivates Musakay to take such risks.
