A volunteer reads with a girl in the Yinchuan Muslim Orphanage in Yinchuan, capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Feb. 25, 2012. Established in 2007, the institution has so far adopted 116 orphaned children, most of whom are Muslims aged between four and 15. The orphanage has been benefitting from volunteers' service ever since its establishment. College students, school teachers and others in their distinct professions work here part-time to offer the orphans a variety of free services, including mental counselling, literacy classes and daily life skill tutorials.
