Spring & Summer Safety Tips For Children
Spring and summer means many outdoor activities in public places. These events are so much fun for families, but when attending, be proactive and have a safety plan in place in the event that you and your kids become separated.
When arriving at an event, come up with a meeting place. Choosing a spot next to a landmark or tall tree will help children remember the location should they become lost. Point out individuals such as security and event staff. If you are caring for a number of children be sure they know about and use the buddy system. Assign each child a buddy and advise them not to leave or wander without their buddy.
For those with cell phones,it is important that the children have the number memorized. It should be programmed to ring and vibrate and held by the adult so that a vibration is felt should it be too loud for the ring tone to be heard when attending noisy events.
Regardless of a child’s age , there are numerous safety strategies that can help you keep your kids safe.
The Safe2Go Backpack and Harness was designed with these circumstances in mind. Here’s wishing you a safe and healthy summer!

International Day for Human Rights of Females
International day against female genital mutilation. Female genital mutilation (FGM) is the removal, in whole or in part, of external female genitalia for non-medical purposes. An estimated 100-140 million girls and women have been subjected to FGM, about 3 million girls annually.Since 2010 in the villages of Senegal, a documentary film called “Futa, It is Time to Talk” has been distributed to provide villagers with information about the health risks associated with FGM and encourages communities to abandon the practice.
