The first years of
Gamins school received yellow safety vests. So they can be seen better in the dark
winter months when they are in the morning on the way to school. The ADAC Sifting
"Geber Engel" distributed 39,000 safety vests to more than 3,000
schools in North Rhine-Westphalia. Yesterday, the Community Primary School turn
was. You will be seen well.
Happy children's
laughter and loud chatter of the new first classes of the community primary
school meets the schoolyard. The children are excited and happy about the gift
that would give them about Dr. Axel Billing. No, there are no sweets, but
little life saver in the form of bright yellow reflective safety vests with
hood and traffic detectives on his back. "Prevent these vests that you
overlook the motorists in the dark. Has any of you ever had a jacket or knows
someone who has a vest?" "My brother has one." "I also have
a vest," comes out of the crowd.
Then the moment
has come, and the children may not accept the West for class one after class.
Zealously the children tear the packages and tighten the West about the same; a
child only has the hood up and sees thus, like a superhero. "I think the reflective
vest beautiful," says Emilia. "I prefer the vest determined
on" calls classmate Makita and laughs. But so vividly and joyfully the
action for the children is, it has a serious background. Graders are also
traffic beginners and therefore extremely vulnerable, especially in the
beginning of the dark season on the road.
Per year still
30,000 children involved in accidents under 15 years on the road, because they
are seen usually too late. Here the vest makes all the difference. It makes the
child for the driver even from 140 meters away clearly visible. A dark-dressed
child, you realize, however, only after 25 meters. "The action is part of
our concept of school education. Our school is located in the city and many
children come on foot. We also make it aware now at the beginning of the dark
season to prepare the children and their parents to this, and at the beginning
the school year with integrate, "said the headmistress. The Community
Elementary School is one of 39 schools participating and Monchengladbach in the
action of ADAC and RAG Orienteering be endowed with a total of 2495 West.
Also teacher Eva
Voigt is convinced of the action: "I think the action toll It is easy to
overlook a child with yellow vest that is different It
also increases the feeling of togetherness of the children in the class She
moves once more! Together, except that they are all in first class. The action
is also important for people whose child participates alone on the road."
A simple piece of clothing can save lives in an emergency.
