An elementary school for the kids of drug addicts has been set up
on the Sino-Myanmar border belt, a major drug trafficking center.
Myanmar-China Campus School Against Drugs with an area of 1,000
square meters, is located at the No. 4 Special Zone in the east of
Shan State, Myanmar.
The school contains 173-sq-m classrooms equipped with 40 sets of
desks as well as a seven-cubic-meter tank used to store clean
drinking water.
The school was founded with the aid of about 50,000 yuan (US$6,000)
from the police office of Jinghong City in the Autonomous
Prefecture of Xishuang Banna in southwest China's Yunnan
Province.
Myanmar plans to enlarge the school to hold 80 pupils.
