Wise words
The closest we ever come to perfection is when we write our resumes!
Self-reliance is like a flashlight; no matter how dark it gets, it will help you find your way!
You are free the moment you do not look outside yourself for some one to solve your problems!
Success is best measured by how far you've come with the talents you've been given!
Success comes before work only in the dictionary!
There is never a wrong time to do the right thing!
How to make a speech:….Be sincere...Be brief...Be seated!
The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about!
Let our policy be quality!
To teach is to learn again!
Even if you're on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there!
You never get a second chance to make a first impression!
Hence let’s welcome our new recruits with professionalism and impress them
If you judge people, you have no time to love them!
Praise in public. Criticize in private!
One man with courage is a majority!
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock!
Challenges can be a stepping stone or a stumbling block. It's just a matter of how you view them!
To travel hopefully is better than to arrive!
Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so!
When an old person dies, a dictionary is lost!
First you forget names, then you forget faces, then you forget to pull your zipper up, then you forget to pull your zipper down!
Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do!
If your life is free of failures, you’re not taking enough risks!
Don’t judge those who try and fail. Judge only those who fail to try!
When you have been wronged, a poor memory is your best response!
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one. You’ll become a philosopher!

As introduced by the journalist A.B.:
"what defines humans and differentiate them to animals is their Identity and sense of origin. Hence a person who is never ashamed or shy to tell and explain his origins is only accepting nature’s rules and is proud to do so. Majority of people when they immigrate to a far land do not talk about where they come from and some even go as far as denying their origin and try to alter or conceal their deep sense of identity. Unlike these people the majority of Eritreans especially the youth work tirelessly to tell about themselves and their roots. And have worked hard to remember the motherland and help their country and people as in any way they can. "

What got me motivated is, the fact that Eritrea is such a young country and has to start from below zero economic equity, is Love of country and people… Every help that any one give to Eritrea to reduce accidents which in turn help reduce the damage to growth and development by reducing the suffering of the people should be urgent. And as Jonathan I see this as my duty to help my country.

At the beginning there were many questions that needed to answered, Jonathan explains:
1-Does these safety jackets or hi Viz jackets exist in Eritrea.
2-where can one get the statistics about the accident prone areas, and modes of transport that are causing the most accidents.
Parallel to the above questions and queries, one had to the following :
A- Where can one find Hi Viz jackets or garments of safety so as to show people back home about their existence and benefits?
Here a memo was written to Metroline to ask for help in donation as well as information into how one can purchase similar garments in the future.
B- Who to contact back home, to take responsibility of distributing the garments, and monitoring their practical application. And this also includes identifying a body to centralise and coordinate from UK end. As this will need a body which can collect money and well established networking ability. The embassy as well as other individuals who hold key positions in the community, ERA etc were approached and depending on their individual ability and priority supported the project. ERA has started to communicate the idea and other aspects of health and safety with the Ministry of Transport and communication.
C- How to do the campaign to introduce the safety jackets at national level as well as Eritreans in UK and abroad? And these campaigns are crucial as it will be fruitless to give jackets to people if you don’t explain what they are for. Hence meadna website and yahoo group of the UK youth association were identified as media to communicate the progress of the idea and its progress was constantly posted from its conception till delivery.

For our country to be on the level of developed countries and compete at equal pace it has to pave ways to protect and safeguard her people. And Jonathan is doing just by being one of the first people who are introducing the safety jackets at such a large scale. And Jonathan started the work by starting to campaign the Eritreans in London[UK].

Jonathan explains to the way things turned out, and thanks ERA [Eritrean relief Association] for their contribution of 1500 jackets and shipping the jackets together with The Books for Eritrea [project handled by AGE and EYAUK] container.

To think about Safety above anything is to be free from accidents and to lower and terminate the factors that make development hard. In wearing this reflective clothing at necessary and exposed areas you will be able conduct developmental as well as your daily activities at relative safety. And this thinking is what got Jonathan wanting to practically help introduce the idea of health and safety garments, jackets and overalls. And this is shown by the donations of Jackets to the ministry of Transport and communication.

Jonathan’s initial expectation was to receive a donation of a few jackets that were left behind by employees of Metroline who have resigned. But the idea got Metroline interested and asked for more information about the project and more about Eritrea.
Metroline offered around 500 Jackets !, posted the interview with Jonathan on their met life magazine [On a page all about Eritrea]!, and dropped all logos of Metroline from the jackets, and this is to respect the project as well as cost wise it is cheaper to have it with out logos.

The patriotism of Eritreans who live in London is unparalleled and this drive got them wanting to support athlete Zeresenay Tadese in Scotland.
Jonathan is proud to be able to organise such enthusiastic group of Eritreans and wave the national flag and get Eritrea and her athletes known around the world.

The Eritrean youth are always ready to get Eritrea and her achievements shouted and her name on a mantel piece, among the best in the world. And recently we have come to recognize two great days in the calendar especially in UK that athletes from Eritrea like Zeresenay and Smret come and compete. On the 2006 trip which is well documented and on DVD was broadcasted on the BBC live and was great.

Jonathan goes to explain the start of initial thoughts and the origin of the idea to introduce safety into Eritrea after watching on Eritrean mass media which showed the number of traffic accidents.
And at the end of the interview Jonathan had the following to say:
(ዮ.ዑ.ሃ.)
እቲ መንእሰይ ኣብ ወጻኢ ዘሎ ተሓባብራይ እዩ ፣ ባህሉ ክዕቅብ እዩ ዝደሊ ። ማዕረ ማዕሪኡ ኽኣ ናይ ዜና ምክትታል ልምዲ የምጽእ ኣሎ ። ብሕልፊ ኤሪ-ቲቪ ኣብ ወጻኢ ካብ ትጅምር ብጣዕሚ ዘሐጉስ እዩ፣ እቲ ብኢንግሊሽ ዲዩ ብኻልእ ብናይ ኣደ ቛንቋ ዝዝርጋሕ ኩሉ ክማሃሮ ለበዋይ የሕልፍ ብኡ ጌረ ምክንያቱ ኩሉስ ኣሎ ፣ እቲ ሓበሬታ ንመን ኢኻ ክትራኸብ ከም ዘለካ እንታይ እዩ ኸ ዘድሊ ካብኡ ኢኻ ክትመሃር ትኽእል!
The Eritrean youth in Diaspora are very cooperative and are keen to upkeep their culture. And more and more have come to be following Eritrean progress closely via the mass media and especially on Eri-TV.
And Jonathan’s advice is for the youth to keep following and learning all the languages of the mother land and get involved, as Eritrea needs them and all the information is mostly available into how and what they can do for your country.

Jonathan says his contribution is his duty and obligation, and does not think it as helping. Jonathan says living abroad does not mean to forget where come from and the people you left behind, but to think about them and more than anything else into how to make the link stronger. And everything I do for my country is done in such spirit and it is never for name or fame or any benefit to me. It gives me great satisfaction and happiness to be able to contribute. And for this reason I would not permit and allow myself to put my name in front of anything I do but to thank all those who helped me to help others first! .

On the early hours of Saturday...Yared Asmerom [wrongly pronounced by the british commentator,Brendan as AZmeroN] was making the move of his life...yet again another Eritrean hero in the making!
He finished the world championship marathon[26miles] in 4Th place in 2:17:41 following a Swiss[3] a Qatar[2] and a Kenyan[1]...ahead of great names who did not even cross the lines at all!
Incidentally his name was not highlighted and gave hiwinnet the impression that Eritrea did not have an athlete running in this sector...
and Yared Asmerom trained with Zeresenay tadese in Spain leading up to today's great great run of his life!....one advice the commentator had was he may not have to run [sprint] early in the race too soon..!
As an Eritrean it was good to see Yared bit the Japanese star who was hoping to shock past every body and get a medal, but the way the Swiss took advantage of the race was un fare.
Japan took the Gold medal for the championship cup [the number of runners from each country get their marks added and their country gets a medal].
The ever great competition to Kenya and the rest of the world, Ethiopia is never to be seen in the the stadium, and was even over taken by Korea for the team [country] medal!
And the commentator [Brit.] forgot to mention that the greatest athletes of our time are coming from Eritrea!
Watch out for Zeresenay on the 10,000 run on Monday 27/08/2007
Victory to Eritrean Athletes [Awet N Atheltat Eritrea]
Congratulations to Eritreans[Yohana Ni hizbi Eritrea]
Eternal glory to our martyrs [Zelealemawi Zikri ni Swuatna]
Hiwinnet!

8 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The objective of this study was to analyse existing data and information on the road safety situation in Sub-Saharan Africa in order to identify the data gaps and priority needs. Based on the poor response received from an earlier survey distributed by the ECA, a shorter survey (restricted to crash data only) was sent to each of the 42 countries. Unfortunately, this too had a low response with less than 20 per cent providing the data requested. Accordingly, the data analysis was based on published sources such as the IRF statistics, and data identified in the literature review and project reports.
The calculations for the current estimate of the road fatalities in Sub-Saharan Africa are shown in Chapter 3. Between 68 and 82 thousand lives are estimated to be lost in road crashes in Africa in 2000. After adjusting for reporting definitions (+15%) and under-reporting (+25-+50%), this estimate is 40-65 per cent higher than that officially reported by the countries. The use of official road crash casualty statistics thus underestimates the true extent of the health burden, especially that of injuries, of which only a fraction are believed to be reported by the police.
Africa as a whole was found to have about 10 per cent of global road deaths in 1999 but contained only 4 per cent of global motor vehicles. Fatality rates (expressed as annual road deaths per 10,000 vehicles licensed) in a number of African countries are amongst the world's highest with some (Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Malawi and Ghana) in excess of 100. (In comparison, fatality rates in OECD countries are of the order of 1.5-4.5 road deaths per 10,000 licensed vehicles per annum).
The average growth in road deaths over the period 1985/86 to 1995/96 (excluding the two dominant countries of Nigeria and South Africa) was found to be over 40 per cent indicating the continued increase in road deaths over time. In comparison, road fatalities in Western Europe and North America fell over the same time period by about 20 per cent.
In the absence of a detailed sectoral review and few questionnaires completed by respondents, the amount of detailed information on road crash patterns available in the review was clearly limited. Nevertheless enough information was available to identify a number of key issues relating to different classes of road users.
An analysis of crash patterns showed that pedestrians are the largest category of road users involved in six out of the eight countries for which detailed information was available. In five of the countries, vulnerable road users (i.e. pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists) accounted for over 50 per cent of all persons killed (the equivalent value in USA, Germany and France for example is about 13 per cent). As might be expected, pedestrian involvement is even greater in urban areas. Thus in Addis Ababa for example over 85 per cent of both fatalities and casualties were pedestrians.
Results of the analysis of types of vehicles involved in crashes showed that the involvement rate of buses was, in some countries, almost four times that of their fleet share. Thus in Kenya, for example almost 30 per cent of all crashes involved a bus or minibus whilst the equivalent value in most Western countries is less than 2 per cent. Research on public transport safety undertaken by TRL has shown that public transport vehicles in Africa (and Asian) countries are frequently poorly maintained, often overloaded whilst the drivers themselves receive inadequate training. Public transport in many African cities is provided not only by the conventional bus but by 'paratransit' vehicles such as mammy wagons (converted trucks), and Matatu (converted vans etc). Such forms of public transport are poorly regulated and controlled with many operating illegally. These vehicles now have a reputation of being particularly dangerous.
It should be noted that the fatality range presented here (68-82 thousand) is less than half that previously predicted by the WHO (WHO, 1998). Even the higher WHO road fatality estimate was only one-tenth that predicted for HIV/AIDS and one-fifth that expected to be lost to malaria. Africa's road safety record is the worst in the world in terms of deaths on a per vehicle basis, but the region has other much greater causes of premature mortality. Road safety is unlikely to become a top medical or political priority in Africa and limited resources can be expected to be available for road safety improvements. Maximum use should be made of the limited resources and lessons should be shared. The recommendations listed below pertain to the perceived priority areas where needs are greatest and opportunities are being missed.
8.1 Sectoral Needs Analysis
As mentioned previously, this study was the first comprehensive review of road safety in Sub-Saharan Africa. It was primarily a desk exercise whereas other regional reviews of the Asia-pacific region, Eastern Europe and Latin America-Caribbean included country visits with local data collection a priority. In order to have a better understanding of the current constraints and capabilities within Africa, consideration should be given to the following:
A sectoral needs analysis should be undertaken by local counterparts in Sub-Saharan Africa. Standardised sector surveys should be developed by a coordinating organisation who will oversee the data collection and be responsible for the data analysis. This approach would provide a much better understanding of local needs and priorities which could be used for guiding future technical assistance. The recommended needs analysis should cover all key road safety related sectors including crash data systems, traffic law enforcement and regulations, road safety engineering, road safety coordination and funding, driver training and testing, vehicle testing, traffic safety education and publicity, motor insurance system, and medical services
8.2 Crash data
The situational analysis has been limited by the data available. The crash data survey response was very low and the summary presented here was collected from published reports and donor projects. This problem is not unique to Africa and plagued the previous regional reviews. The establishment of a regional centre for crash data is a frequent recommendation in cases such as this, where data is difficult to obtain. Intended to raise the status of crash data, this step is not believed to address the key problems, which include insufficient location details and lack of application. Priority instead should be given to the following:
Crash location details should be standardised and monitored. Road authorities should provide traffic police with road maps, including strip maps from rehabilitation projects, to help document locations. The coding of locations and subsequent identification of hazardous locations should be one of the first objectives of a crash data system.
Joint training of police and engineers should improve the understanding of their roles and the development of crash data transferral procedures (from police to road authorities) should be included in any crash data system upgrading. The road authorities should be involved in the improvement of crash data reporting as they are expected to be the main users. The end objective is the application of crash data and not just its computerisation.
Examples of best practice would help others understand what is involved and how it can be achieved. Case studies of successful systems should be documented and shared with other countries.
Regional databases should be considered after the crash data has received more priority at the national and local level and the data quality has improved from local usage.
Investment in hospital reporting systems would produce better estimates of the number being injured in road crashes.
8.3 Road Sector Development Programmes
The World Bank led Road Maintenance Initiative (RMI) in Africa resulted in countries adopting a coordinated approach to donor financing of road rehabilitation projects while increasing their self-financing capability through the use of a fuel levy. Road Fund Boards were established with private sector participation. Road safety appears to have been bypassed in this process with only one of the five Road Funds even mentioning safety measures (Ethiopia). While environmental impact assessments and relocation policies have been addressed, road safety concerns have too often been forgotten. This is partially due to a short term focus on maintenance needs by the highway authorities and a multi-sectoral approach to road safety which has focused on the linkages between the sectors instead of highlighting the individual sectoral responsibility. Accordingly, it is proposed that:
All Road Sector Development Programmes should reconsider the need for incorporating a traffic safety policy which would ensure a minimum standard of road safety in all road projects. An example of a model traffic safety policy is shown in Table 7.1.
8.4 Road safety engineering
As noted previously, many African countries are currently undertaking national road rehabilitation and maintenance programmes. This is a prime opportunity to review and improve the road safety situation of the national and regional highways. At present, road safety is assumed to be addressed through adherence to geometric design standards and few road safety audits are being conducted. Safety audits are needed as they consider the safety of all road users (including roadside dwellers).
Safety audits should be a basic requirement of all major road rehabilitation projects with donor-financed projects containing demonstration audits and training programme on road safety audits.
Lessons learned from safety audits and any resulting changes should be centrally coordinated and shared with other countries in the region. This should be initiated by the donors who should request copies of all references and materials produced be shared with neighbouring countries.
Road safety engineering recommendations from national road safety plans should be integrated into the existing road authorities' 5 year plan and work programmes. Road safety engineering funding requirements should be integrated into road authorities planning and budgeting process.
Road safety engineering unit guidelines (suggested organisational structure, work programme, job descriptions, training progammes) should be developed as a key reference for the Institutional Strengthening projects which have often neglected safety in the past.
8.5 Funding
Whereas road maintenance has benefited from the use of dedicated user charges, i.e. fuel levies, funding for road safety interventions has been limited primarily to general revenue and donor assistance. User charges for safety programmes need to also be considered. A safety surcharge on motor vehicle insurance premiums, has been considered by several countries and is believed to be in place in Mali. The advantages of this approach are limited by the low insurance compliance found in many countries. South Africa and a few other African countries have avoided this problem by collecting third party insurance through the fuel levy. A simple proposal - in terms of practical application but not necessarily political or public acceptability-would be to increase the fuel levy to provide a dedicated road safety source of funding. As the existing road funds have been designed with maintenance needs in mind and not road safety, this could involve an actual increase in the fuel levy, as opposed to a share of any existing road fund revenue.
More priority should be given to financing road safety measures from user charges and that the most practical and appropriate measure would be to apply, (if not increase) fuel levy to pay for road safety interventions.
User charges should also be considered as means of paying for safety measures in other sectors, such as a safety levy on a driving license to pay for more or better trained driving examiners.
8.6 Community Participation
Experience from both higher income countries as well as Africa has shown 'top-down' approaches to have limited effect and lack sustainability. Local participation is required to maintain political support as well as ensure the approach adopted, both in terms of problem analysis as well as remedial measure identification, is appropriate and compatible with local priorities.
Community participation should be a basic component of any road safety programme, with involvement of both service organisations, NGOs, CBOs and the business community a priority. Local road safety initiatives should be incorporated in national road safety programmes with bottom-up efforts co-inciding instead of following national level action.
Priority should be given to sharing the experience gained from community traffic safety programmes in motorised countries, including the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Norway.
Road rehabilitation projects should include publicity campaigns in villages adversely affected by road improvements with the local community involved in both the identification of the problem and the development of the remedial measures.
8.7 Collaborations and Partnerships
As highlighted by the earlier review of WHO figures, there are many other causes of death (HIV/AIDS, malaria, etc) which will rightfully absorb the health sector's attention. The health impact of road crashes will be overshadowed by other causes of death, especially at the national level. Whether it is injury prevention or AIDS related, partnerships with similar causes which require changes in behaviour and social responsibility should be sought. This wider approach has already begun in South Africa where CSIR have a safety education unit (instead of traffic safety). The WHO's recent initiative applies to all trauma victims with the Addis Ababa Emergency Medical Services Committee campaigning for increased trauma management skills and resources not only for road casualties but also for other trauma victims, such as from natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods.
Collaborations should be promoted between road safety initiatives and other health organisations and advocacy groups, ie. HIV/AIDS, trauma services, AIDS, community policing, urban development. Traffic safety education should be designed to complement awareness programmes on HIV/AIDS, as the overwhelming scale of the latter must take priority.
8.8 Monitoring and Evaluation
With limited resources available, it is easy to appreciate the need for proof of effectiveness and efficiency. Yet few evaluations were identified and the focus was on casualty reduction. The lack of complete and accurate crash data will handicap the use of casualty/crash reduction targets. Casualty reduction targets are also criticised for not adequately reflecting risk, as roads which are perceived to be dangerous may discourage use but this will not be reflected in the crash record. At this stage, skills and systems need to be introduced and implemented before any impacts will be seen and post-evaluations, which should be standard features of any project, should measure the change in capability, if not the impact on casualty levels.
Performance targets should be identified and agreed within each sector as proxies for effectiveness In many cases, casualty reduction targets will be premature given the uncertainty of the casualty data.
8.9 Central Road Safety Reference System
The literature review confirmed two suspicions: information on road safety practices/situation could not be found for many African countries, and secondly, where information was found, it was often contained in unpublished project reports from donor assisted projects. The latter has a very limited circulation list and the information collected is not being used to its full potential (both inside and outside the country). Reports are often shared on an informal basis by interested parties trying to build on previous work, instead of "re-inventing the wheel". With the move towards a global approach to road safety as seen by the establishment of the GSRP, it is recommended that
All donors agree to share their work and make project documents available to other donors and those organisations concerned with the promotion of road safety. Priority should be given to publishing recent project reports to allow greater dissemination and use whereas future reports should expect to be on general release.
There should be a central coordinating referral body identified for each country and one worldwide, preferably the GRSP. Inside a country, one organisation should have a copy of all road safety reports and within GRSP, all donor financed projects should provide abstracts if not copies of their reports in electronic format. Full copies of reports should be able to be downloaded from either donor websites or the GRSP website.
Consideration be given to converting the literature review contained in Technical Appendix C into a database with a standardised format so that additional references can be added. The African road safety literature database should be accessible via the internet (possibly GRSP or VTI's RETSNET) and updated on a regular basis.
8.10 Vulnerable road user safety
As a general observation it can be said that pedestrians are the neglected road users throughout much of Africa. Relatively few pedestrian crossing facilities exist in most major cities such as foot bridges, under passes, signal controlled crossings etc. Features that assist pedestrian safety, for example, guard rails or central reservations are also infrequently used. Many African countries are also characterized by quite heavy pedestrian activity along rural roads as people move from village to village but most people are obliged to walk in the road itself as few sidewalks or even paths are made available for pedestrians.
It has been the general experience of high income countries to overlook the safety of vulnerable road users during motorisation. Greater priority has begun to be given to the vulnerable modes of cycling and walking in motorised countries in recent years but the focus at present in low income countries is on vehicle operating costs and the efficiency of motorised transport.
Vulnerable road user safety should be a priority area, and pedestrian safety in particular. Training programmes should be undertaken to raise the awareness with engineers and police. Greater use should be made of CSIR's experience in pedestrian safety and consideration given to conducting regional training programme of CSIR's pedestrian facilities management and traffic calming courses. Donor funded road projects should specify vulnerable road user safety to be addressed.
Programmes and measures intended to promote vulnerable road user safety in motorised countries should be publicised in low income countries, i.e. speed reduction zones, traffic calming, home zones.
8.11 Professional drivers
With such low motorisation in the region and the reliance of freight and passenger transport on road, the priority should be on reducing the crash risk of professional drivers and commercial vehicles. Results of the analysis of types of vehicles involved in crashes showed that the involvement rate of buses was, in some countries, almost four times that of their fleet share. Much needs to be done to improve public transport safety in most countries of Africa, including improved vehicle condition and maintenance, greater central or local government control and perhaps above all, improved driver behaviour. Research on public transport safety undertaken by TRL has shown that public transport vehicles in Africa (and Asian) countries are frequently poorly maintained, often overloaded whilst the drivers themselves receive inadequate training. Action has begun in several countries, including South Africa which has targeted minibus and taxi driving and Zimbabwe which is believed to require defensive driver training for all its public service vehicle drivers.
Driver training and testing improvements and initiatives should target professional drivers. These should include extended on road tests with hazard perception checks, and defensive driver training. Refresher training should also be promoted along with close monitoring of drivers working conditions and crash involvement.
Driver training and risk management programmes should be proposed as a priority area for the newly established GRSP. Good practice code of risk management for fleet operators should be published.
The following names are going to be frequent :
Hi -Viz...
The Hi-Viz Jacket!!
[Part of [Having Safe Transport is Great Thing] project]
It is a Jacket especially made so that it illuminates.
It reflects light.
In UK It is worn by any one and everyone who uses the road.
The police wear it all the time.
Cyclists wear it a lot
Motorbike riders wear it a lot.
Athletes wear it when running on roads and cross country
It is worn by mechanics who normally wear greasy and dark Overalls [Komblasieny]
It is worn by Bus Drivers especially when they walk around their Garages.
It is compulsory at work place [Bus driver job, Police, Factory Workers, Cleaners, security officers, cyclists, Motor bike riders, Construction workers, Farmers] to wear Hi-Viz.
The Hi-Viz being the collective name given to many versions and shades, It varies from the simple four lines jacket that you can be worn over your jacket, to a body warmer full colour jacket, to over alls with stripes of Hi –Viz lines around the leg and arms for mechanics, and so on.
It cuts accidents dramatically, by simply being visible and following this Health and Safety procedure.
It is so important that companies are obliged to provide their staff with Free Hi-Viz jackets.
So why are we not using this life saving jacket on the roads and work places of Eritrea?
Is it lack of Money? , Is it lack of Initiatives? , Is it lack of awareness? , Is it Ignorance?
Life is too precious to waste if it can be saved by this GREAT Jacket, which should be brought up in every topic of our conversation.
So what can we do individually? What can we do collectively? , what can we all do to achieve this dream of great road safety applied in our home land.
Those of us who are good at writing letters, should put a standard letter of request for help in this mater and get it ready,
Those of us, who are good in design aspects, put one that can reflect this great Idea across, this educational material can be used permanently on all notice boards for Eritreans to take notice of!!
Those of us who are travelling back home, to take that thought with them and illuminate people with this idea, and also with a jacket or so to go with it.
May this be a donation that can be given to all of the above users or a compulsory that can be enforced by a body back home will be decided by the body that can handle this.
Individually shall we all explore and talk to many and tell them about this and if their help is needed in raising funds and/or increasing awareness.
We can tell all Eritreans all over the world and get the message and do their bit from all angels.
Collectively we can get coordinated and achieve this dream and get ready for future projects which we can only do if we join up and help each other.

Progress Report
20-SEPTEMBER 2006
I am writing to inform you about the progress the Hi-VIZ [Safety] Jacket introduction into Eritrea has gone so far.
Besides The shipment of 2055 Safety Jackets so far here is more development with the project that was initiated to introduce safety in Eritrea.
As the first company to donate Safety Jackets, Metro line [a member of Comfort Delgro] has done so much to help the project. Besides the constant communication with myself and ERA, they have spent time asking what sizes might be needed, dropped their Metro line Logo from the back of the Safety Jackets, they have given us the market value quote so as to facilitate the taxation at the port or airports when the jackets are shipped to Eritrea.
And above all they have gone further to print this important project and the country it is destined to in the MetLife [a monthly magazine for all Metro line staff-please see magazine attached]. On the MetLife they have dedicated a whole page to introduce Eritrea to many people and promote the safety Issue and advantages of the safety jackets to every reader. Many thank you to Metroline and their communication department.
So the next step is to get more awareness of this Jacket and allow ERA to follow up any more and everything to make this project a success.
ERA would need your help to raise fund [their Bank details will be given at the end], ERA can supply you with letters of request of Donation as well as Jackets for your nominated company. ERA is also looking for dedicated volunteers to collect donations and present receipts to donors either individually or at a company level.
If you happen to be residing [living] abroad and wanted to help the project you can do so in many ways. You can approach companies in your respective host countries, or send your donations to ERA uk who has taken the process on board and do your best to publicize the project and create better awareness. Please make your cheques payable to Eritrean Relief Association, with a note stating that it is donated for purchase and shipment of Hi-Viz Jackets. If you are sending your cheques to ERA and you are a tax payer [For UK donors], we will ask you to fill a form so that ERA can make the Gift Aid Savings.
You can post your cheque to:ERA, Robin House, 2A Iverson Road, London, NW6 2HE
Thank you in advance.

Hiwinnet will contunously update you on it and hope to hear from you soon.
Hello [secretary]
I spoke to you on the morning of 23rd of July 2007, over the phone.
After Introducing my self I started to talk about the letter I left for your department's attention [Any assistance either by donation or link with the body that deals with the issue].
I was born in an east African country called Eritrea. I have been in my adopted home UK for the last 17 years. But upon visiting my birth place, Asmara in 2001 and now in 2007 I have decided to assist the people by introducing health and safety at work and in the transport by wearing high visibility jackets.
Eritrea has one of the highest traffic accidents in the third world countries. This problem has been a cause of enormous economic and social costs. The Eritrean traffic police reports for 2001- 2004 alone show 8500 fatal accidents.
Since 2006 we have initiated the project and now we have 2055 jackets that were shipped last year being used by the police, street cleaners, check point staff, MOT checking departments etc.
On the second phase of this project hiwinnet has gone on the national TV in Eritrea to explain the whole concept and to thank all the bodies that assisted me.
On the third phase and so on is to get the Hi-visibility jackets made inside Eritrea with links with the suppliers of the reflective strips and the process of standard introduced.
But as a hiwinnet memeber was doing his driving job he noticed that all but a few first busses have a very smart sticker on their side mirrors that help other motorists especially other busses see the first bus and gauge the width of the bus, I must commend the engineers of first who came up with that idea. And has also inspired me to use the idea to help the many wheel chairs that we have in Eritrea, the accident prone vehicles [Lorries, busses in urban roads, police etc] as well as the sticks the blind use in Eritrea to have such prominent stickers for safety purposes.
Hence hiwinnet is asking for initially to get the idea home for first to donate a few rolls of stickers, followed by the link with the manufacturers to have greater cooperation to get the stickers used viably.
we volunteer for a charity (UK Charity No.800543) organisation called ERA [Eritrean relief Association, Robin House, 2A Iverson Road, London NW6 2HE Tel 02073287888] on my spare time and any donations can be made there in regards to Hi VIZ jackets, visible stickers or any assistance.
Thank you for time, and your future cooperation!
