VOICED: Old buses become new schools in quake-ravaged Chile

In Constitucion, Chile, buses have been transformed into classrooms after an earthquake destroyed the local schoolhouse. These buses, donated by a Chilean company, provide a safer learning environment in open spaces, reducing the risk of falling debris during aftershocks. The community, located near the Maoli River, was heavily impacted by the earthquake and tsunami, leading to fears and migration. The bus schools offer a temporary solution for nearly 30,000 children to continue their education, though concerns remain about their sustainability and comfort during winter.
