This is the fifth donation of the books to Kasaoka City, and Kasaoka City Mayor Mr. Yoshifumi Kobayashi presented the foundation with a letter of appreciation for its activities to enhance children's traffic safety education through the use of the books and to realize a community free of traffic accidents.
The book provides children with easy-to-understand explanations on how to safely cross the road and ride a bicycle, and parents with instructions and guidance on how to educate their children about traffic safety.
Through the donation of traffic safety instruction books, we will continue our efforts to educate children about traffic safety in order to reduce even one traffic accident for children.
Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013 to promote traffic safety awareness, hosting various traffic safety lectures in Elementary schools across Japan and carrying out educational activities to prevent traffic accidents.
We also support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students studying Japanese abroad to present the results of their studies, and by holding a Japanese speech contest to raise awareness of traffic safety and cultural exchange with Japan.
