Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #911 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY, October 24, 2023: ‘Subway Schooling’ Pictures by award winning ZUMA Press photographers Ashley Chan and Madeleine Kelly: In Ukraine’s eastern city of Kharkiv, where the threat of Russian missile attack is ever-present, local authorities have implemented a novel way to get kids back into school in safety. Covid then the invasion meant Kharkiv could offer little in-person education. Now a scheme brings it deep underground. In a bright decorated classroom in Kharkiv, only 19 miles from the Russian border, children attend classes in one of the city’s Soviet-era metro stations. A bus brings the children to the Station where teachers lead them underground to begin their second school year during wartime. The U.N. Children’s Fund stated that Russian air attacks have destroyed 1,300 schools since President Vladimir Putin began his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and many more damaged.

He was so inspired that he decided to create and train a new order of nuns, one committed to peace, nature, gender equality and, most recently, kung fu. The 350 women of the Drukpa dragon order are highly skilled in martial arts, in which they train with swords, machetes and nunchucks six days a week. The nuns focus on their spiritual roots by championing gender equality, physical fitness, environmentally-friendly ways of living, and respect for all living beings. They also help the sick, rescue animals, pick up litter and can rewire a temple. Welcome to ‘Sisters of No Mercy: Kathmandu’s Kung Fu Nuns’.
