Hundreds of children orphaned in devastating quake have found meaning again. Ankang Nursery Home is a project started by the China Children and Teenagers' Fund and Rizhao Steel Group to help those orphaned in the 2008 Wenchuanearthquake.
Initially, the home was in Rizhao - a city in Shandong province 1,500 kilometers from Wenchuan - and occupied several dormitories previously used by steel workers. After about a year, the home was relocated to a purpose-built complex in Chengdu, the Sichuan capital.
On May 12, 2008, the 8-magnitude quake struck Wenchuan, Sichuan, bringing more than 80,000 people dead and missing.
