A day at the market A day at the flea market (公益跳蚤会)

For CNNGo: Shanghai

Every month a different kind of market takes place at the 1933 creative hub in Hongkou. The event, which is organized by Gongyijia (公益家), focuses on arts and crafts, and second hand, repurposed and recycled items. Proceeds from the event go to help migrant schoolchildren. The idea is to make charity fashionable, make friends and share the kindness, said event volunteer Nicholas Tang (唐子建).
