Veronica Cabrera Moreno comes from Houston, USA．With the help of her family, she made an art classroom out of an old school bus.
Veronica, a mother of four, likes painting a lot. She always uses art to make her neighborhood better. One day, she thought, "Why not ask kids to paint on a school bus?" She wanted to make an art bus and began to ask for some donations online.
Soon, Veronica got everything she needed. And her art bus looks very beautiful. There are some desks and chairs in it. All the art supplies in it are free. Children can use colored pens, paper, etc. without paying money. Parents can get on the bus and paint with their children, too. They can have lots of fun there.
"I think art is very important to children," Veronica says. "It is a nice way to express (表达) themselves. And art can help children grow into great persons of tomorrow."
