Two teachers travel together in a bus to three centres a day. They visit the same three centres every day, six days a week, and teach English, Maths and Hindi at each for 2-3 hours. After class they distribute a nutritious meal and, at least once a week, the Ambulance comes to check on the children and dispense medicine and treatment. Twice a week the Shower Bus also visits each centre and provides the children with a shower and cleansing products.

There are currently two School on Wheels buses and the program reaches about 400 children every day.

Unlike many government schools, the School on Wheels centres are fun and child-friendly. The teachers are diligent and loving and successfully manage to inspire large groups of children of all ages to attend. To begin with the challenge is to motivate the children to sit peacefully during the class, but soon they are keen to learn and make great progress.

In addition to learning to read, write and calculate, the children are taught social behaviour and about the world and possibilities beyond their neighbourhood. The health of the children improves as they learn personal hygiene, get vaccines and have the courage to go to hospitals. They also learn of the dangers of tobacco and drugs, and are made aware of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS. Local communities appreciate the project and, on seeing the results, are invariably eager for it to continue.
