Children in Kindergardens, Elementary School, Parents and Teachers.
From 1998 until today
We visit schools and talk to children, teachers and parents on how to prevent accidents from happening. Our experience has shown that 70% of the children have not heard what we are discussing in the room. For greater benefit, after the events, we hand out brochures to be read by the children, as well as their siblings and parents. These brochures address: "Safety at home", "Safety at school", "Prevention of burns", "Safety during sports", etc.
To date we have spoken to 57,007 children and 3,508 teachers and parents.
