Yesterday, Sec twos attended a first aid course on fundamental cpr and how to react in an emergency life-saving situation.
The first aid course started off with the sec twos helping the instructor- Instructor Ridzuan to carry the equipments to the classroom and after a little ice breaker of introducing both the instructors, we finally began our lessons! We had two instructors- Instructor Ridzuan and Instructor Doris. We were brief on what we were going to be taught on that day and our schedule. After which, we got some hands-on practical on what to do when faced with a unconscious person. Our instructors were very spontaneous and taught us with much enthusiasm. The lesson was spiced up as the instructor was very humorous. The practical was really fun, where most of us got our first opportunity to attempt life-saving on our "unconscious" friend. We had a mini-test in pairs and our instructors guide us along the way.
Afterwards, we had lunch together and continued our lesson.
A new instructor joined us in the later part of the day. He gave a talk on choking and asthma, as well as some brief knowledge of how to administer first aid to such cases. Although he was very serious, he shared some of his experience with us and let us know the importance of how early first aid could save someone's life. Soon later, we had another mini-test where we had to save a choking person. We had a chance to work with "dummies" and although most of us were worried about the test, we all managed to work past it with much effort!
Overall, the first lesson had been a fruitful one. I must admit that I had thought it was going to be a tough one where we had to copy a lot of notes and all. However, I was prove totally wrong. The lesson was very much more interesting and definitely useful in our everyday lives. It was a rare opportunity for the guides to learn first aid in a fun and different way.
Remember, with enthusiasm and effort, nothing is too difficult for us to conquer, for we can all soar great heights.
Love DHS guides!
