Spring Festival is a busy time for family reunions, but it can be a lonely time for those who have no family.
This year, kind-hearted volunteers are offering to share their families' love and warmth with quake orphans.
A children's fund is welcoming quake orphans to spend Spring Festival with Beijing families. 10 children from 5 to 12 years old will come to the capital.
Wang Lingxuan, vice president of Beijing Youqianqian Children's Dev. Ctr., said, "The children we selected have never attended any activities. They tend to distance themselves from groups."
