Emotive commemorative marches were well attended in Lima and 12 other cities in the country by almost 8,000 children and teenagers carrying banners demanding the government fulfill its promises and allocate more money to education. In Lima, the children were received at the Bolivar Square, by a group of Congressmen, amongst them Guido Lombardi, President of the ODM Commission. He was given letters by the children that requested greater investment into schools and efforts to make schools more inclusive. In response, Guido stated his support for the Right to Education for everyone and promised to advocate for this to his other congressmen. Deputy Congressman, Rosario Sasieta declared that "a Congress that does not support education is not worthy of the office." Another event to still happen in Peru is a Big Hearing to take place later in the year.  2008 Report Card PDF
