ADDIS ABABA, June 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese construction giant China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) on Wednesday celebrated Children's Day by inviting Ethiopian school children to visit a local railway station and create awareness among them. The CCECC along with the Ethiopia-Djibouti Railway Standard Gauge Share Company (EDR) on Wednesday organized a visit for a group of students from Jemo No. 2 Elementary School to the Furi-Lebu Railway Station in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, as part of the Children's Day celebrations. The visit was said to be part of an effort to create a sense of belongingness among the school children and the community living along the railway route.
