United Nations Global Road Safety Week (Vic Rosales at the United Nations Geneva, Switzerland!)

I can't believe it has been more than 7 years since I went to Geneva. How time flies.

What started as a way to distract myself from my Dad's death led me to socio-civic work for Ford Group Philippines' corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, the Ford Road Safety Youth Council, then finally to the United Nations at Geneva, Switzerland for the First United Nations Global Safety Week.

Of course, since I was in the area, I took a side trip to Paris, France and other places around Europe.

Thanks to JP Tuason of Tuason Racing School, Cherry Ramirez and Cora Carillo of Ford Group Philippines and all the Road Safety Youth Council Members for the wonderful memories. It was a great experience!
