HO CHI MINH City, November 2, 2012

AIP Foundation staff stationed in Bangkok, Phnom Penh, and Hanoi gathered with those in Ho Chi Minh City for two days in November for a workshop to leverage each countries’ experience implementing the Helmets for Kids (HfK) program.

The workshop was sponsored by Travel Indochina. AIP Foundation has recently trained Travel Indochina tour guides and other staff in Hanoi and Danang on road safety for tourists in Vietnam, and trainings in Cambodia are forthcoming.

Since former U.S. President Bill Clinton launched Helmets for Kids in 2000, over 500,000 helmets have been distributed worldwide. The main output from the workshop will be an internal manual shared by each country office on the lessons learned over Helmets for Kids ’twelve years.
