Poor kids' strong desire for school (newsphoto) Updated: 2005-11-03 17:55
A pupil from a primary school, mainly for
children of rural laborers working in Harbin, capital city of
Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, does his homework on his shabby
desk with a tiny piece of pencil stub November 3, 2005. Most children in
this school are from low-income migrant workers' families. The
children wear threadbare clothes and use poor stationeries so as not to
ask their families for money to buy new ones. It was found in a physical
checkup that many of the 300 students even don't have socks and
underwears and sometimes don't have money for lunch. The
government, institutions and citizens are joining hands to help
children from poor families to receive education.
