A counternarcotics special forces police officer gifts powdered milk to a girl returning from school, after the police patrol destroyed an illegal coca laboratory or maceration pond, in Tingo Maria, Peru, Monday, October 26, 2015. According to the police, most labs are simple operations where only the basic chemicals like acid, quick lime and gasoline are used to turn coca leaves into paste. The paste is later transported in 11 kilo backpacks called "costales", to another lab to be turned into cocaine. (Photo by Rodrigo Abd/AP Photo)
