PHOTOVOICE: Children’s Perspectives on Road Traffic Safety
Published November 21, 2008 @ 07:11AM PT
PHOTOVOICE: Children’s Perspectives on Road Traffic Safety gave kids in Brazil, Canada, China, India, South Korea, the Philippines, and the United States the opportunity to document with photos and words the road environments they encounter as they walk to school.
The goal of PHOTOVOICE is to help kids learn proper road traffic safety and become safer pedestrians.
In observance of International Walk to School Month, a reception for PHOTOVOICE was held at The World Bank in Washington, D.C., on October 21 to highlight the results of the project and celebrate the collaboration between The World Bank and Safe Kids Worldwide’s Walk This Way program in addressing children’s road safety issues.
Mitch Stoller, President and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide, joined Katherine Sierra, Sustainable Development V.P. at The World Bank, and David Ward, Director General of the FIA Foundation, at the opening of the exhibit to call attention to international efforts to improve road safety for kids.
The international PHOTOVOICE exhibit was also displayed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Ga., at the Safe Kids Child Injury Prevention Conference in Washington, D.C., and at FedEx Asia Pacific Headquarters in Hong Kong.
PHOTOVOICE was made possible with a grant from FedEx

I always admire child safety programs like PHOTOVOICE. It is organized by Safe kids worldwide. This is a great idea to collaborate various organizations worldwide who work for the prevention of childhood injuries due to road traffic. Kids playing on road sides are a very common site. Childhood injuries due to road accidents increases day by day. Child road traffic safety awareness programs are very important. Parents should help their kids to understand traffic rules and traffic road signals. LEM Products, Inc is also organizing various child road safety drives in various schools on a small scale level. These programs will help kids to learn road traffic safety rules and also help them to learn self safety tips.
