First Aid Exercises

WDMCC students were busy this week doing first aid exercises for the first time and it was amazing how the students managed to corporate doing the following exercises:

   Ø  Choking

   Ø  CPR

   Ø  Helping three injured people

Even though we lacked materials but we were creative enough to come up with ideas on how we can make our materials such as:

Ø  Scarf

Ø  Two liter bottle

Ø  Keyboards

Ø  Toilet paper

Ø  Chairs

Ø  Chalks

Ø  Brooms

The students were excited about the exercises because some of them never experienced the feeling of acting before. Some parts felt real and it was so touching to an extend that some of us were being shocked and forgetting that it was only acting, but what is good is that after the exercise we felt proud of ourselves and felt like true Emergency Managers.

I have learned that incidents can happen anywhere at any given time therefore it is important to have the basics of first aid so that we can be able to deal with small incidents that may occur in our daily lives.
