IRAQ-BAGHDAD-DISPLACED CHILDREN-MOBILE BUS SCHOOL

Displaced children take their class on the "Hope Bus" in Baghdad, capital of Iraq, on Dec. 27, 2018. At a forgotten slum in the southeast of Baghdad, capital of Iraq, a glimmer of hope shines in the hearts and minds of dozens of internal displaced children as a nongovernmental organization (NGO) turned a large old bus into a mobile school. It is named "Hope Bus," the seats of which were removed and replaced with school desks for as many as 50 pupils, and was furnished with colorful curtains, loudspeakers, a television set and a blackboard. The children in the bus use the same textbooks at the government schools. They are taught reading, writing, arithmetic, science and English letters. They also receive psychological support, and practise sports or artistic activities in the field where the bus stops. (Xinhua/Khalil Dawood)
