Flood-ravaged school has new teaching building (newsphoto) Updated: 2005-08-31 17:30
Two children are ready to have lunch at their
newly built dinning room at the Shalan Primary School in Shalan Town,
Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province August 31, 2005. The school was
devastated by a flash flood June 10 that killed 105 children.
Officials blamed the school's location - it is on much lower ground
than surrounding buildings - for the high death toll. Then the National
Development and Reform Commission allocated 6.9 million yuan for the
rebuilding of the school. The teaching building was put into use Wednesday.
