As record-breaking heatwaves and repeated power failures make large parts of the city unsafe during daylight hours, families have moved daily activities underground into abandoned transit infrastructure that still offers stable temperatures and working ventilation. This repurposed tunnel now serves as both a public cooling shelter and a temporary classroom where children continue their education despite worsening living conditions above ground. Inside the narrow concrete passage, students sit on mismatched chairs and salvaged desks surrounded by stacked supplies, storage crates, folded tarps, and worn school materials collected by volunteers and local residents. The single fluorescent light casts uneven shadows across damp stained walls while the teacher moves through the crowded space mid-lesson, capturing a quiet moment of routine and resilience inside an environment built purely for survival rather than comfort.
