Our recent volunteer, Chris, took it upon herself to conduct three basic first aid courses at an elder’s home, a girl’s school and a rehabilitation centre.

This would not have been possible without our project manager Amal. His translating and taking part in the demonstrations contributed greatly to the success of the courses.

It was three fun days for our audience as well as us. Chris had with her recess Annie, a life size dummy, which helped tremendously as everyone took turns to practice on her.

Undoubtedly everyone learnt a great deal and left feeling confident to perform some of the simple techniques which could actually save a life.

Amal enjoyed taking part in the choking demonstration where he had to be held from behind and help regurgitate what ever was stuck.

All in all it all three days were a huge success and we really have to thank Chris for taking the time out to share her knowledge with everyone in order to save lives!
