UK Prince presents helmets to children
Vov/Hanoitimes 15:17, 2014/03/01
Michael George Charles Franklin, Prince of Kent, the UK, presented helmets to pupils at Hanoi’s Van Phuc Primary School on February 28.

It is part of a “helmets for children” project sponsored by the Asia Injury Prevention Foundation (AIP) and the UK Road Safety Fund (FIA).

The Prince said he has toured many countries, met world leaders and told them about Vietnam’s efforts in enforcing traffic laws and encouraging road users to wear helmets when hitting the road.

 

He attributed the success to efforts by Government agencies, non-government organizations, donors and communication agencies.

On the occasion, he gave a road traffic safety award named after him to Vietnam Television (VTV) for its contribution to disseminating information to raise public awareness of traffic safety.

The “helmets for children” project, launched by AIP President Greig Craft in 1999, has provided more than 500,000 helmets to children in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries.
