Four years ago, when he was in middle school, Dylan Ence
visited Patamban Michoacan, Mexico with his family. They saw children living in
poverty and struggling to get an education. While there, his family purchased and donated sporting goods for the local school’s physical education classes. Dylan noticed
many students were staying at the school over the holiday weekend. He learned children
would walk to school and stay for months to be sure they could get to classes.
That’s when Dylan decided to donate a bus. “Why can’t I do that?” he said, “Shoot
for something big, and maybe make a change.” He purchased a used school bus
from Minnesota and drove it back to Utah, where family and friends are filling
it with backpacks, school supplies, clothing and other donations. Soon Dylan’s family
and another family will take the bus to Mexico. “It’s been a long project of
small donations,” he says. “It just jumped to a bigger one.”
