Mexico School at Border Camp for Asylum Seekers
Love Does has officially launched its new primary and secondary school in Tijuana, Mexico. This school serves approximately 200 kids ages 6-16 whose families are seeking asylum to enter the U.S. legally. The school has four classrooms with teachers and aides offering daily education. In addition, there is an onsite psychologist to address the mental and emotional challenges these kids are facing. Outside the classroom, the kids have access to a computer lab, a library, a dedicated art room - and a newly renovated playground!
Our goal is to provide these children with structure and optimism through character-based education while they are awaiting asylum-case decisions. For many, this will mark their first exposure to a formal education, thus serving as a crucial stepping stone for shaping their future.
