PORAC (Reuters): When the coronavirus pandemic shut Philippine schools, a group of teachers living near the indigenous Aeta people became so concerned about the impact on the children of the isolated community that they initiated a novel approach to help them - learning by rickshaw.

While many students across the Philippines have been able to take online classes, the Aeta villages in a mountainous area north of Manila are largely without Internet access -- or even television reception -- for distance learning.
