NewsDiana Fauner meets Michelle Yeoh
Make Roads Safe campaign ambassador, movie actor Michelle Yeoh joined Ministers from developing countries, senior UN and World Bank figures, and celebrities including F1 driver Felipe Massa, at the report launch in Rome to highlight the hidden epidemic of road traffic injuries and to urge UN action on road safety. (taken from www.makeroadssafe.org) On 5th May 2009, Diana Fauner was introduced by FIA Foundation's Director General David Ward, to film actress and Make Roads Safe campaign Global Ambassador Michelle Yeoh. Both ladies being martial artists, Ward had always wanted to introduce Fauner to Yeoh but never found both to be at the same time at the same place. Michelle Yeoh, said: “Over the past year I have traveled in many countries and seen the terrible impact that a lack of basic road safety can have on people’s lives. A child is killed or maimed on the roads every thirty seconds. These tragedies are so sad, and so unnecessary, because we have the ability to prevent this. It is time for the talking to stop. It is time for real action to make roads safe.” Doce Pares fully supports the campaign for road safety, particularly as road accidents are very prevalent in our home country, the Philippines.
