PREAH SIHANOUK Province, Cambodia - January 31, 2019

Forty parents received training on the importance of correct helmet use for themselves and their children through our Helmets for Families program sponsored by Manulife Cambodia. The training was planned to coincide with the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday to raise awareness of the higher incidences of road crashes around holiday periods and national celebrations. During the training, parents were provided with free quality helmets and instruction as to the importance of consistently wearing a helmet when driving. The training provided information on the national helmet law and focused on reinforcing the importance of the parents’ individual roles as caregivers to the well being of their children.

This activity follows Manulife Cambodia’s donation of 1,055 helmets to students, teachers, and mothers at Hun Sen Krong Primary School in Preah Sihanouk Province in early November 2018.
