 The Mobile School Project 

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.

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.
