Dandelion School. Trátase dunha escola dedicada á mellora da educación dos nenos das familias de emigrantes de Beijing. O seu obxectivo é proporcionar un ambiente feliz e saudable no que os pequenos poidan estudar, e á vez, disfrutar dos momentos máis lúdicos que lles proporciona o feito de estar con outros rapaces da mesma idade.

Cuties from the Dandelion School, a school for migrant children in the outskirts of Beijing, China. China operates on a "hukou" system that dictates children may only attend school in the area which they are born. This leaves hundreds of thousands of migrant children without public education in Beijing. The Dandelion School and its volunteers are doing what they can to give these kids the opportunities they deserve to learn.
