Peru: Police officer takes town kids to school every day

A noble initiative in Uchumayo, Arequipa, allow children to keep on attending school.
Boys and girls from Virgen de la Peñas District, in Uchumayo (Arequipa) have to a walk long way every day to go to school, exposed to dangers and distractions along all the way: that's one of the reasons behind the recent high rates of school desertion.
However, a noble policeman has found a way to help them. Fernando Cano, from the Congata-Uchumayo Police Department, picks up the kids along the way and takes them to school.
"At first moment there were only the kids of one family, and the following days there were more and more kids joining," says Cano proudly.
This initiative is not a new one for him, who has participated before in a similar program that allowed the recuperation of a group of gang members into sporty kids and little businessmen.
