Taylors College supports safety for Vietnamese children

On February 25th, Taylors College funded 103 helmets for school children in Viet Nam. Although the pictures do not show it, that Taylors College logo is displayed on the sides of each helmet. Below is a letter of thanks from the Program manager of the Asia Injury Prevention Foundation.

Thanks to sponsorship of Study Group – Taylors College, 103 helmets were handed over on 25th Feb 09 under the Helmets for Kids (HFK) program to Dien Bien Primary School, where the crowded streets outside the school serves as a principal artery for trucks and big vehicles circulating in and out of the city. This year the Study Group – Taylors College had been a “special traffic safety knowledge symbol” at their school – with nice helmets. All of the children and teachers of school were really happy and so grateful with the moment when they had helmets on and would be safer on roads for moving steadily onwards. On this occasion, we would like to send our sincerest thanks for your valuable support during and after the ceremony.

The ceremony was attended by representatives from HCMC Department of Education and Training (DoET), HCMC Traffic Safety Committee (TSC), Education and Training Office in Dist. 10, the Parent-Teacher Association, local authorities and representatives of the media; and especially your presence, Mr. Hua Vinh Duy. In the speech of the principal, Mr. Tran Minh Thu had emphasized the importance of helmets to protect life and therefore she did remind again all the children to remember to wear helmet. The meaningful remarks by VIP Guests have expressed the progress made on traffic safety in the country, and the need to call for children and teachers not only in this school but also for others in HCMC to follow wearing helmets.

We enclose herewith some pictures of the ceremony for you kind reference.

And, we believe that the news on VTV9 at 5.45pm today will make you feel glad as our meaningful message has been sent to our community.

Thank you very much for your great sponsor and looking forward to your continue support.
