Although our 2011 global road safety awareness campaign, The Embrace Life Campaign finished back in November, some young people were so inspired that they recently sent us some pictures in the spirit of the campaign. The National Youth Parliament of the Gambia came together and decided that although they couldn’t take part in the campaign because of busy election training, they still want to make their mark.
We have already found our winner for the Embrace Life Campaign, Ms Daphne Kemunto and Ms Sheila Atieno from Kenya but that didn’t stop The National Youth Parliament of the Gambia taking some pictures under the auspices of the Embrace Life Campaign.
In November, we were contacted by Rt Hon. Mr Siaka Dba telling us that he wanted to take part in the campaign but was currently involved in election training as part of his youth empowerment work in collaboration with The National Youth Parliament in The Gambia.
He told YOURS that although he did send a few pictures for the photo competition, he wasn’t able to dedicate a good a amount of time in capturing how young Gambians ‘Embrace Life’ and so even though the submission period for the campaign elapsed, Mr Dba took it upon himself to capture some pictures because he was so inspired by the idea of the campaign. We are delighted to share some these pictures with you below and the rest in the sidebar gallery. We branded the photos and added them to our gallery!
We are delighted that the Embrace Life Campaign continues to have impact even after it has finished. Our winning entry participants are now working on a grass-roots road safety project in Kenya.
We congratulate The National Youth Parliament of The Gambia for taking part in the Embrace Life Campaign and thank members for their entries!
