MEXICO CITY -- The organisers of the Mexican Grand Prix have launched an initiative with Formula One to open 600 temporary classrooms for children impacted by September's earthquakes.
On September 19 Mexico City -- the host of this weekend's race -- was rocked by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, just two weeks after an 8.6 magnitude earthquake had hit the south of Mexico. Both left huge damage and claimed the lives of over 400 people.
The initiative hopes to allow 9,000 Mexican children in the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, two of the worst-affected regions, return to school.
