iPhone video: School for Migrant Children - Beijing, China

Last month I accompanied my BLCU classmates to a local school for migrant kids where they volunteer their time. Nils, a Swedish citizen, elucidates the children's situation and explains why volunteer's are so important.

@krglongbourn I was in Beijing on a scholarship. The Swedish guy was a classmate of mine and I filmed him.

Best thing for these kids? Spend some time in China and volunteer.

I would imagine this is the side of China that the gov't tried to hide during the Olympics... sad, yet amazing what people are doing to help these children.

Bravo!
