here's a feel good story from our friends over at RDC


A Coloring Book to Raise Child Awareness of Off Road Races

For the first time, a citizen undertook the task of launching a campaign to raise children's awareness of the precautions which have to be taken when visiting the off road races which are held twice per year in Ensenada.

Rubén Elizalde, an employee of a large tourism sector business and a fan of the most important sport in the municipality, initiated this project by himself, without any financial resources.

He designed a coloring book with the goal to raise consciousness in children, mainly those who live in the less popular districts, which are least bestowed with souvenirs given out during the events.

The book is called "Calzonman y Choyonsito," and it is a 10-page book which addresses several themes relative to prevention and the loss of human lives, ecological damage and robberies during and prior to the race.

"The intention is to teach the children about the dangers and precautions they have to take when viewing the races from up close," said Rubén in a press conference.

Emotionally, he added that the response from some racers was immediate, and above all the students of schools located in Ojos Negros and Valle de Trinidad.

The Vildosola Racing Team sponsored the first publication, but more participation from other sponsors is expected, either from racers or businesses.

Sounds like a good thing. Safety should always be first.
