This Sunday, Miss Vietnam 2008 hosted a Family Day event in Ho Chi Minh City that was full of fun activities centered around child motorcycle helmets. Family Day aimed to educate parents and encourage children to wear helmets every time they ride on a motorcycle. Organized by Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation, in collaboration with Ho Chi Minh City’s Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) and Department of Education and Training (DoET), the event was attended by over a thousand parents and children at the Children’s House in District 3.

The attendance of Tran Thi Thuy Dung, Miss Vietnam 2008, was a huge sensation. All morning, Thuy Dung interacted with children as they participated in road safety games, including helmet painting and bicycle racing. Throughout the day, free helmets were awarded to the children who performed well in the quizzes, games, and competitions. Later, Thuy Dung joined the children for a viewing of the play “Lion and Friend” by the “Ngày xửa ngày xưa” Theater Group. Their interactive performance was customized to compare the dangers of the jungle to the threats of the road, as the animals discover the importance of helmets.
