22.04.2016: FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP (WRC) RALLY ARGENTINA Finnish tradition takes South America by storm

FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP (WRC)
RALLY ARGENTINA




Finnish tradition takes South America by storm –



Volkswagen works driver Jari-Matti Latvala again followed an old Finnish tradition at the Rally Argentina: he presented a “Cuna de Cartón” – a cardboard cradle – in the service park.


The starter kit for newborn children was introduced in Finland in 1938, in an attempt to reduce infant mortality rates, which were high at the time. And it proved to be successful.


The idea of giving babies born into underprivileged families a safer and better start to life has also proven to be a success story in North and South America for some years now.


Jari-Matti Latvala had previously done his bit for the charity at the Rally Mexico, where he presented such a box. The content ranges from the cardboard cradle itself to care products, clothes, toys and soft toys.
