The bus is being retrofitted and it is expected to arrive at the Coast by the end of the month so the program can be implemented next month, according to Joaquin Jimenez, farmworker program director at ALAS in Half Moon Bay, the nonprofit spearheading the project.
"That way we don't have to miss too much work," Garcia said. "The time is limited for us."
"Areas like Northern Salinas, Watsonville, Central Valley, so maybe other organizations in that area will be interested to implement a program like this," Jimenez said.The program is also meant to help bridge the digital divide, providing wifi. "Sometimes we don't get good reception with the Internet so I think it's going to help me a lot too," Garcia said. "A lot of farmworkers don't have the cell phones or things like that to be able to talk to their families in Mexico."
