Container Community for Migrant Children

Migrant children play games in Heiqiao “Magic cube” community in Beijing on Sept 28, 2011. The community, located in Chaoyang district in Beijing, has become a study and playing center for migrant children living nearby. Classrooms in the community are all remodeled containers. For migrant children who used to play or study on the roadside, the community is a good place where they are taken care of and taught by volunteers. There are six container communities funded by Compassion for Migrant Children in Beijing and Shanghai, benefiting more than 7,000 migrant children. (CFP)
