MDPPA conducts road safety seminar for 3rd graders

It is clear that more than any other individuals, children are most vulnerable to road crashes for various reasons.
 
To spur the road safety among Filipino civilians this year, Motorcycle Development Program Participant Association, Inc. (MDPPA) reached out to children, particularly grade schoolers, due to their risks on road accidents. The organization also appealed to their parents to educate their kids about road safety on their respective homes.
 
The MDPPA recently conducted its fourth leg of road safety seminar for Lourdes School of Mandaluyong third-grade students.

The free seminar has enriched students’ understanding of road safety and security. By imparting the importance of responsible driving, as well as giving tips and lessons on road safety, MDPPA’s initiative will go long way toward mitigating child road traffic injuries and deaths. MDPPA likewise holds these same seminar in schools to teach children the value of road safety while crossing the road and being familiar with road signs.
 

 
Ana Bolinao, Lourdes School of Mandaluyong Principal as quoted as saying “MDPPA’s road safety seminar has enriched our students’ understanding of road safety and security. By imparting the value of road safety to our students, MDPPA’s initiative will go a long way toward reducing child road traffic injuries and deaths through children’s improved vigilance and caution.”
