After a 6.8-magnitude earthquake jolted Luding county in Southwest China's Sichuan province on Sept 5, more than 800 villagers in Detuo town, including about 50 children, were temporarily relocated to Luding No 2 high school. Since Sept 6, 11 teachers from Luding's kindergartens and 10 college and high school students have volunteered to take care of these children. These volunteers bought balloons, stickers, stationery, and other supplies, and changed three tents into classrooms where volunteers accompanied children to draw pictures, play games, and make creative "mooncakes" to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on Sept 10, which is also China's Teachers' Day. Later, volunteers will continue to take care of these children and tutor them in those "tent classrooms". [Photo/Xinhua]
