Dhaka, Bangladesh (CNN) -- Six-year-old Muhammed Wasim stands on the edge of a muddy river -- an old Spider-Man bag perched on his back -- as a boat plying toward him inches closer.
The boat is a classroom, and a creative solution to flooding in Bangladesh, which is buckling under the effects of global warming.
Poverty in the South Asia nation has exacerbated the crisis.
"We don't have to buy anything. We get everything free, like pens and books," Muhammed said.
Classes in boats give children access to education when floods prevent travel on land.
