  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.
