Little angel

We visited an early childhood development (ECD) centre at Sanfu village this afternoon. Although the Chinese meaning of this village’s name is literally “three rich”, it is not rich at all. The average annual income per person in this village is 6,500 RMB, less than 1,000 USD. Almost all the children in the ECD centre were accompanied by a grandmother. I saw one three-year-old girl, Xiaoluo Zhao, playing happily with a volunteer. She liked having her picture taken very much. Every time we wanted to take a picture, she came over, and made a very cool gesture. After visiting the ECD centre, we went to visit a “left behind”child’s family, where the child’s parents have left to seek work elsewhere. Xiaoluo walked all the way with me, hand in hand. She pointed to me where her home is, and ran with me a little bit. What a cute angel!
