FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - November 13 is World Kindness Day.

To celebrate, Southwest Allen County Schools (SACS) came together to support one of its own - Akimu, who drives the district’s Bus #55.

Akimu recently learned that his brother in Africa had fallen ill.

While he was able to purchase a ticket to travel home and spend December with his family, he was set to be without income for the month away.

By collecting money, the district’s transportation department was able to raise enough funds to not only cover Akimu’s missed pay but also support his travel expenses.

The district says moments like these show what it truly means to care for one another.
