Liangshan's children

Walk through a river, crossed over a dirt road, a rundown in the eyes of rural primary schools. Here is the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province bright Xide County town of Union Parishads, Time: September 9, 2010, the school's name is the joint primary light town.

Hi Tak, light, reveals some names here, the gas light, look around, the mountains encircling the green valley, the golden rice fields. In China, the number of places so beautiful and poor.

Schools are more than 200 students, but only two classrooms, was not enough. High-grade students had a half day, low-grade students on the other half-day classes.

School children are mostly Yi, some children also dressed in national costumes. I walked into a classroom and saw a lot of kids were wearing high rubber boots to help in order to cope with the muddy road to go to school. The distance involved, many children walk for hours every day to school.

Some children's school bags, sewn bags of fertilizer, twenty or thirty dollars a bag it can be a lot of children, here are a luxury.

During recess, when the children were on site at the campus next to the sand mound play behind a two-story small building already taking shape, this classroom building will be completed by the end. Qiu Yi heads wearing a dark red, for the past few years he has been rather busy this small building, funded by the well-intentioned people, the dream step by step toward reality. Children run around so much, finally on the day of the class, which is the most practical benefits.

I thought of a good friend Pierre in Canada this year, he spent several months in South America volunteering to help local people build a house and in-depth the lives of local people, this public way to travel in foreign countries has been widely opened come. Paper does not meet a lot of people just floating everywhere scrawled through a landscape, but hope that more local people and local culture with deep intersection. When paid in exchange for local sincere smile and overall acceptance, you will have the opportunity to truly understand one soil to one side, and this is a lot of people do not mind where you embark on the journey.
