  • The school collapsed so rapidly — one floor "pancaking" atop another — that there was practically no time to escape.

      The new school that could be built here would have to be very sturdy. They could not have something like that happen again.
  • All but a handful of the more than 900 students were believed trapped under the slabs of cement, bricks, tile and twisted cables.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • one survivor
  • ranging from seventh grade to ninth grade,
  • wiped out the school's entire graduating class and about half its student population.

      The students that survived this earthquake will now need a new school so they have some place to go.
  • Engineers said the school's walls and support columns gave way almost instantly.
  • "These buildings just weren't made for that powerful of a quake. Some don't even meet the basic specifications,"

    Chinese school collapses. Many students are killed. Needs new school.

    This place (China) would be a good place to build a new school.

    This is a location in need, indeed. Can you find anything about what schools are like in rural China? Also, minimally, tag it according to the country name and schools.

    There was not a picture of any kids in China that were near the damaged school. This was because the police made people stay away from the buildings. The backpacks in the corner of the picture was the closest thing that I could find that had to do with the children as well.

      i think the cause will be more popular or successful because it is created by Yao Ming... a very famous basketball player. That is why it got my attention.
  • Over 50,000 U.S. dollars were raised on the spot, and more is expected, as the word is spread by the media and passionate attendees. All proceeds will support the Yao Ming Foundation's rebuilding efforts in Sichuan, which was hit by a magnitude-8.0 tremor on May 12, 2008.
  • We have committed to building five schools in China

      There has already been success to rebuilding schools in Sichuan

    I agree, that joining up with an already successful project is a worthy endeavor. You need to tag this by schools and also the country name.

    The picture is towards the bottom of the page. Since the school was destroyed by an earthquake, the students would need an entirely new school, not an improved school. Before it had been destroyed, it had been a long, tube-like building, which isn't very modern or elaborate.
