In a parking lot across from a migrant shelter in the border city of Tijuana, a non-profit organization called “Yes We Can” has converted a school bus into a school. The program, “Schools on Wheels,” not only offers a bilingual education, but a place of security for these children. Yes We Can has also partnered with World Central Kitchen to provide daily lunches for the children. They currently teach 37 students from ages 5-12 and are planning on taking on 20 more. Yes We Can plans on launching a program for teenagers as well. Estefania Rebellon, the director of this program, has stated “We can be in a bus, in a house, in a boat, it’s more about what we teach the children.”
