After the quake, Jiangyou city built a mobile classroom. Local officials want to help the children overcome their  pain and stress.

A white tent, a little desk, some stools, a bookcase with a few books. This is a mobile classroom set up after the quake. The children seem to like it.

The classroom was built by the Communist Youth League of Jiangyou city. It's run by volunteer psychologists from around the country. The classroom is constantly on the move in the countryside, bringing lessons to children in faraway places.

Fan Yiming was a cheerful boy before the quake. But he has become reticent since he was shocked by the earthquake. But the mobile classroom is helping him recover.

Experts say the mobile classroom not only teaches valuable lessons, but also helps the children psychologically, making it possible for them to conquer fears instilled by the earthquake. This is why the classroom is warmly welcomed in the quake zone.

Meanwhile more volunteers are also coming to the quake-hit areas to offer psychological counseling to the children.
