The Asia Injury Prevention Foundation (AIP) and Save the Children will hand over a petition with 15.000 signatures to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration next Wednesday. This is in an effort to force schools under the supervision of the BMA to participate in the campaign to promote the wearing of helmets by schoolchildren on motorcycles.
