Primary level students engaged in several educational activities at the event, including road safety-themed games and student performances facilitated by AIP Foundation and DENSO. These events allow students to learn about the importance of safe road behavior in a creative and participative way. Mr. Pinit Harnpanich, Governor of Samut-Prakarn Governor presented Certificates to Ms. Pensri Chintapunyakul, Director, Intarumphun-Anusorn School.

In Thailand, National Children’s Day occurs on the second Saturday of January and is celebrated to create awareness around the child’s significant role towards the development of the country. “Children are the future of Thailand, and must be safe when traveling on the roads. What better way to celebrate Children’s Day than to provide students with something that is life-saving, allowing Thailand’s next generation to thrive,” said Ms. Ratanawadee H. Winther, Chairman of AIP Foundation in Thailand.
