A compassionate, high school student bought an old school bus so that he could use it to help even more kids get a better education.
Back when Dylan Ence was only a freshman student at Dixie High School, he visited the Mexican village of Patamban Michoacan with his family so that they provide the local schools with supplies and sports equipment.
While Dylan is now a senior at the school in St. George, Utah, he has never forgotten about the poverty he saw during that fateful trip four years ago—and he now plans a return trip to that village to do more.
During his stay at the village, the kind teen learned that many of the local kids would sleep at their local school so that they did not have to make the mile-long trek to and from classes daily.
Dylan bought a school bus at a local Minnesota auction to drive it down to the village and donate it to the school.

He's also spent the last four years collecting donated gas money, backpacks, socks, and school supplies for all of the Mexican village.
Dylan hopes to fill this bus with as many donations as possible before he as well as his family journey south from Utah on December 20th, 2019, to the village 1,700 miles away.
He set up a donation webpage with a goal of raising $5,000 and has raised $3,705, so far. To help him reach his goal, visit supportful.com/dylansschoolbus.
Dylan is currently in the process of getting travel papers and insurance from the Mexican government to get his bus with supplies safely across the border.
