We are thrilled to announce the official opening of our primary and secondary school in Tijuana, Mexico. This school is located at the largest asylum camp in North America where more than 1,500 families are seeking refuge from human trafficking, extreme poverty and/or the cartel. Many of the children of these families have had no access to formal education before now. The Love Does School will not only provide much-needed education, but a safe and nurturing learning environment, a place of belonging and a beacon of hope for future opportunities.
Our grand celebration was held on May 15th, 2024 – and it was filled with so much joy! The students, teachers, state officials and Love Does staff came together to recognize – and celebrate – the significance of the school’s opening. The day consisted of singing and dancing, games, face painting and, of course, balloons! Love Does is all about inviting fun into spaces where there is heaviness and hardships and this was no exception; the overwhelming highlight of the day, though, was the permanent smiles on the children’s faces.
Check out this video to see the highlights!
