Migrant school visit

Learning how to draw.


This week I participated with a group to visit a school that is set up for the migrant workers children. Our group gave some resources toward an after school art program. It was wonderful to see the children in class and some children sang for us. The new buildings that are being constructed in Shanghai are being built by migrant workers. These workers come from the countryside to work in the city because they can make more money then working on a farm. They bring their families and the government provides a special school for the children of these workers. It was a lovely experience.
