Caravan of Love participants!
Thank you for helping us provide such needed donations to Tijuana shelters.
Shared by our Caravan of love Volunteer Jessica Rosales:
Meeting Alondra and hearing her story was such an amazing thing at only 9 years old she knows she wants to be a doctor to help others 😭
This is why we do what we do❤️❤️
Thank you to all those amazing volunteers who joined Hugo and I on the caravan.
I have recently started a project called Educate Immigration, inspired by a day that I spent with Border Angels in Tijuana. Educate Immigration is an effort to provide educational materials to displaced children - asylum seekers - stranded south of the US/Mexican border.
People in migrant shelters aren't able to work or attend school, making for an endless period of waiting with no day to day stimulation. Children are not only desperate for homes - but for something entertaining to focus their attention. Books and activities engage their minds and keep them excited about learning, as well as giving them hope during a difficult time.
I look forward to gathering these books and supplies and bringing them to Tijuana with the Border Angels Caravan of Love.
By going to my Amazon Wishlist you can donate books and school supplies, which I will bring to these children. Please help to give them a better future.
Please support our cause by donating and/or forwarding this email to a friend. You can also share it below via social media.
The Mobile School project was born from the collaboration between two humanitarian aid organizations Border Angels and The Schoolbox Project. As you may know, Border Angels sponsors ~15 shelters in Tijuana, MX serving migrant families who often spend many months waiting for asylum hearings and next steps. The shelters house hundreds of children, many of whom have spent months, if not years outside of the school system - if they were able to attend in their home countries at all. https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-mobile-school-project

Mr. Trumpet and the Big, Not-So-Great, Wall is a story about a group of friends who live in Yousa, a place filled with music from all over the world. The friends love playing music together, but their friendship, families, and music are threatened when a Mr. Trumpet decides to build a wall and remove those who do not play the music he likes.
This is a story about how a group of friends can overcome heartbreak and separation through working together and believing in one another. People big and small, young and old, near and far, can find strength in caring for one another and building a better world for tomorrow.
