FedEx Express Company and Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation/Safe Kids Vietnam are holding a photography exhibition by school children to promote pedestrian safety.

The “Photovoice” exhibition at Nguyen Minh Quang Primary School, District 9, HCMC features more than 50 photos taken by eight students at the school.

Subjects in the photos included motorbikes overloaded with passengers, bike riders without helmets, children playing on the street, and holdups at bus stations.

Huynh Van De won the first prize with the photo essay “Please give us a safe route to school”.

The Photovoice project is part of the Walk This Way program organized by Safe Kids Worldwide and FedEx Corp. It uses photography as a medium to promote social change and improve quality of life in the community.

Photovoice projects have been successful in seven major cities: Sao Paolo (Brazil); Toronto (Canada); Shanghai (China), Mumbai (India), Seoul (South Korea), Manila (Philippines) and HCMC (Vietnam).

The exhibition will stay at Nguyen Quang Minh Primary School this week and then be transferred to other schools in HCMC, spending three days at each.
