SQR has started to build a sports field for the students of Luo Shui Middle School who are currently in a temporary boarding school outside the town. They currently have no safe place to play on and some children have hurt themselves playing on the existing rocky surface. With no safe recreational area the children easily get bored and frustrated, and there have been increased levels of schoolyard bullying and violence, the teachers have reported. Contractors secured by SQR are currently laying a red soil multi-purpose surface in the school yard. The work is budgeted to cost 13,000rmb and will be completed by the time the students return to school after the Chinese New Year. Chengdu Sports Aid, an association of several expat sporting groups and clubs in Chengdu, is helping to raise funds for the project, and once it is completed they will arrange regular sporting events on the facility.
