FIRST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR KIDS OF DRUG ADDICTS IN SINO-MYANMAR BORDER

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 (about
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.
