More security for little "beavers"

Not only parents, educators and the police want to do something about children's car accident rates, but also a club that wants to get involved in a project to equip Kitas' kids with reflective vests, which should improve road safety, "Round Table" is the name of the union of men who have set themselves the goal of social involvement in various projects.

The "Biberburg" parents Mick and Katrin Dobber had made contact with the "Round Table", more precisely to the friendly Torsten Brandenburg, which belongs to the so-called "RT Münster 48". The parents had suggested equipping also the kindergarten "Biberburg" in the course of the club project with safety vests. The "Round Table" did not ask for long and traveled with 44 West, which presented a small delegation to the Kita leaders Ulla Brinkschulte and Irmela Höfener. "This is a great thing that benefits the safety of our children," rejoiced the women, who also thanked the Dobber couple for their thanks.

Meanwhile, the children moved to the West, of which the "Round Table" has already distributed 30 000 to various kindergartens nationwide. "We finance this through donations, which we acquire through various actions," said Torsten Brandenburg. "For the rest, we make sure that the vest is fair and not produced by child labor in China," added Daniel Hernaiz-Kleine of the "RT WAF 230".

The police, which was also in the day-care center on this day to practice with the children and parents the correct behavior in traffic, the action was very good. "This is absolutely in our interest because the children are much better recognizable by light reflection," said police chief Dagmar Hille and reminded the adults to wear reflective garments at the same time. "Here, too, you should be a role model," said the policewoman. Meanwhile, the children had prepared for the excursion into the traffic with the new West.

"Why is it good if you put on the vests?" Police chief inspector Bodo Kowatz wanted to know. "So that the cars do not run over us," the children formulated it frankly. And the policeman added: "If you go on an excursion, you will light up and be seen."

Then the children went with the policemen and their parents on the way through the village. Not only the youngest learned a lot. For example, small children have longer reaction times and different perceptions. Therefore, it is all the more important to make them fit for road traffic early. The police officers knew that safety vests with reflective fabrics are a tried and tested aid. However, they particularly appealed to motorists to take account of the weakest road users.
