"Their classrooms at a 19-container community center in Heiqiao Village, a dusty sprawl in suburban Beijing, had survived a summer run of local government closures and demolitions of more than 30 schools for migrant children in the Beijing area. Almost 15,000 youths lost their gathering places for studying and socializing.
"According to recent census data, about 7 million migrants live in Beijing, making up roughly a third of the city's population.
Now the organization believes the shipping container setup in Heiqiao "can survive, said Yin Chia, communications manager. * * * 'We can just put the center on a truck and move with the community,' she said, adding, 'Donors are … very concerned about the sustainability of their donations. We can't be sustainable if we keep getting demolished.'
