Stockinger takes Anima kids on a museum visit
International race car driver Marlon Stockinger was in the country recently for a series of events including Globe’s Slipstream 2.0, where he entertained local racing fans with a thrilling driving exhibition.
And while the Filipino-Swiss Lotus F1 junior driver was busy with all his engagements during his visit, Stockinger made sure to also spend time with his young fans through a museum visit with the kids of Anima Christi Center.
Done at The Mind Museum, the event served as a chance for Stockinger to reach out and interact with the kids of the center, which provides therapy and interventions for students with learning challenges. Before venturing on an exciting museum tour, Stockinger first led the students to a pit walk around the Bonifacio Global City grounds where he did his driving exhibition and showed them his race car.
Stockinger was also joined by Globe Telecom senior advisor for consumer business Dan Horan in greeting the kids inside the massive educational hall which features numerous exhibits that help foster the youth and the public’s understanding of science.
“I’m so glad to see all of you here today. It’s inspiring to see all of your excited faces as you look forward to a day of exploring here at the museum. I hope you guys have a great time learning and having fun with each other,” said Stockinger as he addressed the kids.
Apart from the museum tour, the kids of Anima Christi Center were also treated to sumptuous lunch and snacks. They also got to play at the activity area and enjoy a mascot show all courtesy of Ban Kee Trading.
Currently the only Filipino racing internationally, Stockinger is also the first Filipino to win a formula race in Europe with his top finish at the Monaco GP3 series in 2012. He currently races for the Lotus F1 team.
