A Chinese peacekeeper distributes Children's Day gifts to Lebanese children.

　Holding their Children's Day gifts from China in hand, the Lebanese kids are very excited.

　　On the afternoon of June 1, 2008, the International Children's Day, some minesweeping engineers from the Chinese Peacekeeping Engineer Battalion in Lebanon visited the primary school of a village where the battalion is stationed. The Chinese peacekeepers brought the Lebanese children gifts with Chinese characteristics such as Chinese knots made from red silk ribbons, the Beijing Olympics mascot Fuwa, pencils and Chinese folding fans, etc. to deliver their festival wishes to the Lebanese children. In addition, they gave a class on common knowledge of exploders in order to teach the children how to protect themselves and keep away from lethal exploders like cluster bombs.
