Migrant School

Just came back from a local migrant school in Shanghai. The migrant school is for students whose parents are migrant workers, meaning they come from more rural parts of China to work in Shanghai, not surprisingly these people are very poor. We visted the school in preparation for when some of us go to teach English once a week.

The students were very excited to see us and shouted out lots of "hi"s, they were all very cute. I'll probably have a lot more to blog about on this topic as I spend more time with them in the weeks to come.

  1. I didn't know you were going to have the opportunity to get into a local school. That's great. What age groups?
    Did you move in with your host family yet? What's the scoop there? Thanks for posting. It's fun to keep up with what's going on. Love you. Mom
