Children attend class at the Dongzhong (literally meaning
"in cave") primary school at a Miao village on China's Guizhou
province. The school is built in a huge, aircraft hangar-sized natural cave,
carved out of a mountain over thousands of years by wind, water and seismic
shifts.

"Neighborhood Care Points" are community-based
feeding centres serving local orphans and vulnerable children. Hot meals and
sometimes informal schooling are offered by volunteers from the community.
UNICEF and the World Food Programme are frequent sponsors in set-up and
material/food aid.
World's smallest
school: 1 teacher, 1 pupil
An elementary school in China has just one teacher and one
pupil. Li Yongchun, 61, has been teaching at the school in Dasu village,
Longjing region for over 25 years. He explained: "At first, the school had
more than 400 students, but in the '90s, more and more families migrated from
the mountain village to make a living outside, and there were just over 10
students left. "In 2000, the city education bureau decided to shut down
the school after the graduation of the last student. New kids can register and
board at another school in nearby Sanhe town, which is a two-hour drive
away." But the family of a third grader named Han Hongyang can't afford
the boarding fee, so she became the last remaining student. "We have been
like this for more than half a year. She is my only student, and I'm her only
teacher," says teacher Li.
