Neighborhood volunteer Rebeca Rodriguez ties plastic bags over the shoes of Paulina Mariano Ortiz who arrives for a lesson in the bed of a pick-up truck repurposed as an educational space on the southern edge of Mexico City, Friday, September 4, 2020. Concerned about the educational difficulties facing school-age children during the coronavirus pandemic, the couple who runs "Tortillerias La Abuela," or Grandma's Tortilla Shop, adapted several spaces outside their shop to provide instruction and digital access to local children who don't have internet or TV service at home, a project that has attracted donations and a waiting list of students.
